56. Why Are You So Scared?

Ba and Bapu once went on a walk as usual. Unknowingly, Bapu stumbled upon a stone hurting his toe. It started bleeding profusely. Bapu panicked and asked Ba to bring a bandage and dress the wound. Ba said, "You always boast that you are not scared even of death, then why are you so upset with a small wound?"

Bapu said, "Listen this body belongs to our people. My recklessness may make it sore, leaving me unable to work for a week or so. The people will be at a great loss due to it. It will be a breach of peoples' trust for us.' Ba agreed to what Bapu said.
