Wing Shun had been granted special leave from the monastery to be part of the judging panel the night before.
....and the next morning, as he began the long walk back to the monastery he couldn't help one last look back over his shoulder, to remind himself of exactly why he had voted the way he had.........
He vaguely recalled the words of the wisest of Monks.....
......something about not judging a book until you had read its very last page????
".....aaaahhh yes! .....now I remember, .....the last page!"
...he smiled quietly to himself.
