Monks in the Garden

this is not from The Alchemist

I heard a story once about how

One day, as a monk tended to his garden in the monastery, two of his students approached with a question. They'd been discussing something and wanted to know what he would say about it. He paused and looked up from his spade.

"Master," they asked, "If you knew that you had only fifteen minutes left to live, what would you do?"

"This,"
he replied,
and went back to his gardening.
