     in Chinese Buddhist temples of a thousand years ago, the
     temple doors were locked from the OUTSIDE.)


 Once Chao Chou was in charge of keeping the fires at the monastery.
 One day, while everyone was out tending the garden, he went inside
 the monk's hall and shouted, "Help, fire! Help, fire!"

 Everyone rushed back to the monk's hall, but Chao Chou had closed
 and barred the door.  No one knew what to do.  Finally, Nansen took
 the key from its hook and threw it into the room through the window.
