Once Lao Tzu was walking in the rain without an umbrella and raincoat and met his student walking under a large umbrella.
- Teacher, why are you walking in the rain without an umbrella? - asked the student.
“When it rains,” Lao Tzu answered, “the tao is to get wet.”
The student enlightened, threw away the umbrella and left, smiling in the rain.
“Well, a fool,” said Lao Tzu, picking up an umbrella.
