Answer:
the thief who became a disciple
one evening as shichiri kojun was reciting sutras a thief with a sharp sword entered, demanding wither his money or his life.
shichiri told him: "do not disturb me. you can find the money in that drawer." then he resumed his recitation.
a little while afterwards he stopped and called: "don't take it all. i need some to pay taxes with tomorrow."
the intruder gathered up most of the money and started to leave. "thank a person when you receive a gift," shichiri added. the man thanked him and made off.
a few days afterwards the fellow was caught and confessed, among others, the offense against shichiri. when shichiri was called as a witness he said: "this man is no thief, at least as far as i am concerned. i gave him the money and he thanked me for it."
after he had finished his prison term, the man went to shichiri and became his disciple.
