I planed this threshold down low with my own hands, twenty years back. A child came in running, tripped, and cried until I promised to shave it down.

• MyokanThanks to that threshold, even a drunk monk doesn't trip these days.
  Kudo RokuroReverend, that threshold was for a crying child, not for a drunk monk.
• Toba SaeBrother, you always used to kick your shoes right off at that threshold.
  Kudo RokuroYou threw yours right along with him, my lady. It was always me who went around picking them up.
