"Wait!" I yelled, my hand raised for emphasis, my eyes serious. "Before I accept you as true disciples, I want you to understand the meaning of the Master-Disciple relationship."
"Please enlighten us, Master!" they cried eagerly.
I grinned, knowing I had their full attention. "When a master asks you to find a beautiful lady for him, as disciples, you must fulfill that request."
"Yes, we acknowledge it, Master!" they shouted. "We'll bring back a beautiful lady for you right away."
I shook my head, wagging my finger. "Not one! But three!" I demanded, looking down at them, my expression firm. "You must bring three of the most beautiful ladies to your master!"
Their faces fell into shock, eyes wide, mouths agape. "Please enlighten us, Master," they finally managed to say.
