The apprentice goaltender asked the master, ``How can I learn to see the puck better?''

The master replied, ``You cannot see the puck better. If you look for it, it is not there.''

The apprentice asked his question another way, ``But how can I learn to stop the puck better?''

The master replied, ``How can you learn to stop your mouth?''

The apprentice asked, ``But what can I do to improve my play?''

At this the master took a slapshot right at the goaltender's head and said, ``Stop that!''

At that moment the goalie was enlightened.
