1. Don't think, don't sleep

When he was a child,
One day
    His father said to him:
    “Don’t think, my child.
    God never thinks.”
Since then, he never cared
To learn the art of thinking.

When he was a child,
One day
    His mother said to him:
    “Don’t sleep, my child.
    God never sleeps.”
Since then, he never cared
To learn the art of sleeping.
