The Master stood before the monks for some time in silence. Then he held up a Hubwheel.

"What is this?" he asked.

The monks were wary. His instruction had been harsh during their time at the school. Yet one piped up.

"It's a Hubwheel," he said.

"No!" roared the Master. He hurled the Hubwheel at the monk. It glanced off his forehead with a sound like a billiard ball hitting a bathroom floor. "It is that! Hubwheel is just a word!"

The dazed monk rubbed his head, stared at the two blurred images of the Master and nodded in understanding.
