Chapter 49 Summary

Get out the microscope, because we’re going through this poem line-by-line.

  • The sages don't get stuck in one way of thinking.
  • They're constantly open to what people have to say.
  • They treat everybody the same, whether the people are good or bad.
  • The sages also live out in the world; they don't go hide on mountaintops.
  • It's kind of their job to take care of all people, like parents take care of children.
  • (Like children, huh? Then we'd love it if a sage came by and took us to Chuck E. Cheese.)
