The abbot of a temple has reached a great age and prepares to hand on his position to Sammi,
who, however, is rather an odd character, always up to the unexpected like going so far as to lend
people the templels only umbrella. The abbot's first job is to instruct Sammi in how to refuse
people the use of the umbrella: "If someone asks to borrow the umbrella simply say that last time
you got caught in a rain shower on your way home from saying a mass for the dead, you put the
umbrella on the veranda to dry, only for a gust of wind to come down from Mt. Hiei, carving it
away and smashing the ribs and tearing the paper. So, now itls hanging up from the eaves, waiting
to be repaired, and, sorry, you can't use it today''
A simple enough lesson to learn; that is until a guest appears one day who wants to borrow a
horse....
