A great sage sat alone on a hill, deep in meditation. Three visitors came to meet him on three different days hoping to ask him for wisdom.
The first walked right up to him and shook his hand.
The second, seeing that he was meditating and not wanting to disturb him, patiently waited.
The third, seeing that he was meditating, silently sat next to him and began to do the same.

I am the first; I want to be more like the third. Which are you?
