Meeting the Monk


Today, I had the opportunity to ride next to the Monk. He definitely was one of the most interesting monks I have ever encountered. He was very tan from being out in the sun. When I asked him what his favorite activity was, he told me that he loved to hunt and fish. He said that he spends most of the daylight hours outdoors, while most other monks are indoors praying. I thought that this was very strange. I also noticed that his clothing included hunting boots and furs, which I thought was kind of inappropriate for a monk. He was a very nice man, but he didn’t seem to me to be a proper monk. I think I will have to talk to him more later.
