Then he continues.
The homeless man finally meets the buddha. But before he could ask the buddha says to everybody,
"I will asnwer three questions for everybody here. Bu only three questions"
The young homeless man was in shock, he has four questions to ask.
So he thinks carefully..
He thinks about the turtle who has been living for five hundred years, trying to become a dragon.
He thinks about the wizard, that has been living for one thousand years trying to go to heaven.
And that young girl, who has to live for the rest of her life, being unable to speak if I dont ask their question.
And then he looks at himself and says,
" I am just a homeless beggar. I can just go back home and continue begging"
So as he looks at everybody else's problems, his own problem suddenly seems so small. So, he feel's sorry for the turtle, the wizard and the girl. So he decided to ask all of their questions instead of his.
So, he asks the buddha, and the buddha answers,
"The turtle is unwilling to leave his shell, as long as he is unwilling to leave the comfort of his shell, he will never become a dragon"
"The wizard, always carries his staff, and never puts it down.. And it acts as an anchor, keeping him from going to heaven."
"And as for the little girl, she'll be able to speak.. when she meets her soulmate"
So the homeless man bows down to the buddha ,and went on his journey back home.
