The next Christmas, Brother Thomas speaks to the head monk again, and says "More Food".
Once again, silence for 366 days (it's leap year). The following Christmas, Brother Thomas speaks to the head monk and says, "I'm leaving."
The head monk responded "Good, you've done nothing but whine since you've got here".
