Fictional anecdote thread

[Deidara]

Many of us cant write stories but can imagine small anecdotes. So here we try our hand at them.

​

A brilliant student of ancient arts travels far into the mountains to seek a legendary master of chakra manipulation. He is accompanied by his childhood tutor from his village. After climbing the countless steps they reach the top of the mountain to find the small monastery where the great teacher resides. They enter the hall and see his silhouette perched on a chair at the far end of the hall. They gently walk up to him and stand in silence before him. The tutor bows in all earnest but the student, the pride of his clan, keeps standing upright. After a brief pause the old master turn his staff a little towards the young student and the student's upper body starts to bend against his will until it fixes into a fully extended bow. The student's body remains in this posture for some moments then frees once again from the mysterious force that bound him.
Soon afterwards the old teacher tells them to go into a side room to eat and rest. Once in that room the tutor anxiously asks the student why he did not bow ? And that the chances of him getting accepted by the teacher appear slim now. The student replies that he wanted to see if that old man was really the legendary teacher that they were seeking. If he was indeed that fabled man then he would be able to extract a bow out of him by himself even against his will. The student then says, "I have already been accepted. I have tested my teacher and only now my teacher will want to test me."
