Three Friends There were three friends Discussing life. One said: 'Can we live together and know nothing of it? Work together and produce nothing? Can people fly around in space and still forget to exist World without end?' The three friends looked at each other and burst out laughing. They had no explanation. Thus they were better friends than before. Then one friend died. Confucius sent a disciple to help the other two Chant the traditional funeral ritual. His disciple found that one of them had composed a song. While the other played the lute, They sang: 'Hey, Sung Hu! Where'd you go? You have gone Where you were before. And we are here-- Damn it!
