Two sages were standing on a bridge over a stream.
One said to the other, 'I wish I were a fish. They are so happy.'
The other replied, 'How do you know whether fish are happy or not? You're not a fish.'
The first said, 'But you're not me, so how do you know whether or not I know how fish feel?'
The other thought for a moment and replied, 'Because I was a fish in my previous life.'
The first scowled at him. He said, 'then you wouldn't mind if I threw you off this bridge, would you?'
At that moment, the first sage attained enlightenment.
He told the other sage what had happened.
'Yeah, I attained enlightenment too,' the other sage said. He was lying.
