The guardian recognized great Lao Tzu, called him by name and, nobody knows how, persuaded the wise man to tell a world about Dao and De. "When you said Dao, you said nothing", the teacher replied.

The reader wasn't good.

I liked the story but the reader could not read well and that made it hard to follow.
