A man was walking along and fell into such a deep hole that he could not get out. So he began to shout very loudly for help.
A learned professor came along and found him. He looked down into the hole and lectured the unfortunate man: "Why were you so foolish as to fall down there in the first place? You should be more careful. If you ever get out again, watch your step."
And with that he took off.
Then a holy monk came along. He looked down into the hole and told the man, "I'll try to reach down as far as I can, and you reach up as far as you can. If I can grab your hand, I'll pull you out."
