After he had spent everything, there was a severe lack of practical martial arts in that whole country, and he began to see the need. So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who rejoiced in his teachings ( and free incentives). Yet He longed to fill his stomach with the the readings of Kung fu forums.
“When he came to his senses, he said, ‘I must return to the kung fu forums! I will set out and go back to Gene and say to him: My Liege, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called LKFMDC; make me like one of your hired servants.’ So he got up and went to Gene Ching.
“But while he was still a long way off, Gene CHing saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to him, threw his arms around him !
“Dave Ross said to him, ‘My Liege, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy of your forum’
“But Gene Ching said to his moderators, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
“Meanwhile, David Jamieson was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and Our Liege has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
“DJ became angry and refused to go in. So Gene Ching went out and pleaded with him. But he answered his Liege, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. But when this forum poster of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
“‘My moderator,’ Gene Ching said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
