Another story about a monk. And this monk claimed to be able to do magic and asked a novice to come with him. 'Why?' he asked. "I'll show you a magic trick. I make myself invisible! I'm pretty good at that, you know. Look very closely now. If you can't see me anymore, say so.'

They went to the monk's cell. But the novice was cunning and wary. The monk started muttering magic spells and came up with a secret formula. "Whoa!" and took off his robe. "Can you still see me?"

"I still see you, Your Venerable One."
"Whoa!" and he took off his shirt. "Can you still see me?"
"I see your loincloth," said the novice.
"Whoa!" and he took off his loincloth. He stood there in his naked dick. "Can you still see me?"
"No, not anymore," said the novice. 'I don't see you at all anymore. You are invisible!' But of course he still saw him! 'What magical powers you have! You are really very handsome, Monk.'

"Bring me my begging bowl!" The monk wanted to go around collecting contributions. With the bowl hanging from his shoulders, he walked proudly out of the cell, down the stairs, through the temple garden and through a hall where women were busy eating. When they saw him walking there, naked, they started shouting and cheering.

'Look! The monk with a bald head!' They ran after him. He fled, so back into the temple, and hid until nightfall.

Meanwhile, a pig had escaped from the stable. A big pig. The owner knew nothing about the invisible monk and she walked around there and called the animal. 'Kiss! Kiss kiss kiss, come here.' (*) The monk heard that and thought 'Good heavens, they're still after me!' and he shouted 'Do you think I'm the only one with a naked head? The village is full of naked jerks. Leave me alone!'

Well, you have to let yourself be cheated by a novice…Source:
