Sage and Pupil get some Lunch

Pupil had taken only twenty steps, counted backwards to forwards, so as to land on the first notion rather than falling back on the last afterthought, hopes that would make the right impression. However, the master of all things left undone, unsaid, and unfettered, was less than impressed. Pupil didn't need to see or hear any critique to know. Trying harder next time would be in order. Otherwise no stamp of approval to seal the deal. 

"O Great Sage, who knows where the sky is falling, when the goose was cooked, and why a watched pot never boils, please tell me how I can know what is unknown, be what has never been, and grasp the infinite as easily as if it were a game of ball and jacks?

The ONE who peels the onion without shedding a tear, who sets the pace for the rat race, and loves salad even without dressing replies:

"You walked a mile in those moccasins but you never found a good place to eat so all you know is that you are hungry and need a new pair of shoes"

With that, the two of them pulled into a burger joint and ordered at the drive through window.
