Nobody present, be it Mr. Su Bai, the Monk, or the fat guy, was a fool. Though they too would exhibit shock in the face of sudden, icy twists of fate, and feel unsettling fear at abrupt turns of events,
these were but normal human reactions, which in no way diminished their excellence and outstanding qualities.
"Yes, picture this," Mr. Su Bai, clad in his firefighter suit, spread his hands and pointed around, "Imagine this scene where I, you, the fat guy, Gyatso, Sofia, and dozens more from the audience, all stand here, looking at this cylindrical building in front of us.
Then, we all don our firefighter suits."
The image of dozens of listeners all standing here in firefighter suits indeed seemed exaggerated, and even somewhat hard to accept, as no one's memory held such a scene, but now everyone began to conjure it up in their minds.
