Paul wanted to get away from it all, so he set off to explore the world.
After a couple of weeks, he saw a large building. He went and knocked on the door, and a monk opened it.
"Hello" said the monk.
"Hello," said Paul, "I'm Paul"
"Do come in Paul, our Monastery is your Monastery, any thing you want, just ask, but we are about to have dinner,won't you join us?"
"I'd love to" said Paul.

Dinner was a feast the likes of which Paul had never seen. The wine was beautiful, and Paul hadn't had any alcohol for many months, and he ate like a pig. After dinner, with all the alcohol flowing through his blood stream, Paul needed some sleep. The monk showed him to his room, and Paul slept like
a baby.

The next morning, Paul awoke feeling very fresh.
The Monk said "If u want anything at all, please just ask".

"OK, I will have a think about that" said Paul.
"Really," said the monk, "It would be a pleasure for us to supply you with anything that your heart desires".

Paul spent the next few days enjoying the food and wine, and going with the Monks to pray, and then, having had plenty of time to think about it, he had a quiet word with the Monk. "Can you really supply me with anything I desire?" asked Paul.

"Anything at all, you name it, and we will get it for you."

"OK, if you are sure," Said Paul, "I would love a hair-dryer, a Macintosh,7 candles, a sheep, some butter, a pair of old newspapers, and a goat"

"And please," said Paul, "A white sheep, not a black one, if that is OK?"

"A white sheep? OK, No problem, but it might take a little time"

The next 8 days went by with good food, good wine, good prayers, and no sheep, etc. On the ninth day, the Monk went up to Paul, and said "Well,it was hard work, but we have got you a hair-dryer, a Macintosh, 7candles,a white sheep, some butter, a pair of old newspapers, and a goat, they are all in your room."

"That is GREAT" said Paul, "I will go and check them all now."

An hour later, he found the monk, and said "I am sorry to trouble you,but the hairdryer doesn't have a 'cold-air' option, is it possible to change it?"

"Of course it is" said the monk, .

The next day, Paul found a new hair- dryer outside his door, with a cold option. He was ecstatic. The Monks didn't see much of Paul for the next few weeks, but they heard some very odd noises from his room.

After a month or so, Paul announced to the Monk that he really ought to think about heading home.

"OK, well thank you for visiting us."
Said the Monk.

"I shall miss you all, you have been so kind to me, treating me like a long lost son, feeding me, supplying everything that I desire, how can I ever repay you?" Paul asked the Monk.

"Well, there is one thing" said the Monk, "I would love to know why you wanted a hair-dryer (hot and cold air), a Macintosh, 7 candles, a white sheep, some butter, a pair of old newspapers, and a goat?"

"Oh, That's a secret" said Paul. The monk looked up in anticipation.

"Its a very precious secret. You know." , said Paul "Well, can you keep a secret?"

"Yes I can keep a secret." said the monk excitedly. And so Paul told the monk his secret and the monk kept it a secret.

And since then it was a secret , none of us would know about it and, can you therefore get back to your work. Thanks for reading it.
