Two Monks Are Copying Ancient Texts

One of the monks begins to wonder, what if the original texts had entirely different meanings because of other monks' mistakes in their translations over the years? They decide to go find some of the original texts and find out.

One of the monks ventures into the catacombs to find one of the texts. The other monk waits outside the entrance. He waits for about an hour and begins to wonder where the other monk is. He ventures in to find out.

He hears sobbing, and moves towards the sound. He sees the other monk sitting on the ground, crying, with a book opened in his lap. He asks him why he is crying, to which he replies,

"they meant to say *celebrate!*"
