It was Saturday
morning and Jake, an avid hunter, woke up ready to go bag the first deer of the season. He walks down to the kitchen
to get a cup of coffee, and to his surprise he finds his wife, Alice, sitting there, fully dressed in camouflage.
Jake asks her, "What are you up to?" Alice smiles, "I'm going hunting with you!" Jake, though he has many
reservations, reluctantly decides to take her along.
They arrive at the hunting site. Jake sets his wife safely
up in the tree stand and tells her: "If you see a deer, take careful aim on it and I'll come running back as soon
as I hear the shot." Jake walks away with a smile on his face knowing that Alice couldn't bag an elephant -- much
less a deer.
But not 10 minutes pass when he is startled as he hears an array of gunshots. Quickly, Jake
starts running back. As Jake gets closer to her stand, he hears Alice screaming, "Get away from my deer!" Confused,
Jake races faster towards his screaming wife. And again he hears her yell, "Get away from my deer!" followed by
another volley of gunfire.
Now within sight of where he had left his wife, Jake is surprised to see a cowboy,
with his hands high in the air. The cowboy, obviously distraught, says, "Okay, lady, okay! You can have your deer!
Just let me get my saddle off it!"

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one's family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one's own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
