Author Unknown
A dramatic ballad singer studied under a
strict teacher who insisted that he rehearse day after day, month after month
the same passage from the same song, without being permitted to go any further.
Finally, overwhelmed by frustration and
despair, the young man ran off to find another profession.
One night, stopping at an inn, he stumbled
upon a recitation contest. Having nothing to lose, he entered the competition
and, of course, sang the one passage that he knew so well.
When he had finished, the sponsor of the
contest highly praised his performance. Despite the student’s embarrassed
objections, the sponsor refused to believe that he had just heard a beginner
perform.
“Tell me,” the sponsor said, “who is your
instructor? He must be a great master.”
The student later became known as the
great performer Koshiji.
