Korin:
Well, what do you see? Goku: I can't really see anything. Korin: Wait, watch. Goku: Now I see the Dragon Balls. Korin: Yes, you get it now? Goku: Not really. Korin: Look, kid. Listen, When you fought and lost, you were pretty angry am I right? Goku: You bet I was! Korin: That's why you lost! Don't you get it? You couldn't see clearly. Goku: Huh? Korin: Your mind is like that water, and your anger, is just like the ripples that disturbed the water. Calm your mind so that you can see clearly. Goku: Yeah! Now I get it. Gosh, your really wise. Korin: Oh, well, thank you. My name is Korin, the cat. I don't get many visitors up here that's why I live so high up. Only sincere seekers manage to find me. See more » |
