The Dangers Of Copying From A Copy

THE DANGERS OF COPYING FROM A COPY

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the
other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not
from the original manuscript.

So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out
that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would
never be picked up. In fact, that error would be continued in all of
the subsequent copies.

The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for
centuries, but you make a good point, my son." So, he goes down into
the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are
held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years.

Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot. So, the young monk gets
worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head
against the wall, and wailing, "We forgot the "R", we forgot the "R" His
forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The
young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"

With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was 'celebrate'."
