A young monk arrives for work at a monastery where scrolls are copied from prior scrolls by hand. After some time he noticed that they are copying from copies. Humbly he points out to the master monk that an error could be introduced and then copied and recopied via this process. The master reassured the youngster that they are very careful to faithfully copy the text and it was unlikely that something like that could occur. Still, after the young monk went back to work the master monk was bothered by this revelation. To satisfy his mind about something he went down deep into the cellar… A little while later a scream was heard by all the monks and they all ran down into the cellar thinking that master had hurt himself in the dark. They found him sobbing on the floor and holding a very old scroll. What’s wrong? They asked in unison. The master said through sobs the word is Celebrate ! Celebrate!

Nice save, but I think we got the message.
