You will then be ready to undergo initiation: an ordeal imposed by the Brotherhood of Fools and Simpletons. Three questions will be put to you. Just three. The first: 'How would you order the world if you were given the powers of the creator?' the second: 'What is it you desire that you do not already possess?' The third: 'Say something that will truly astonish us!'

When you know what it is they need... you are to report back to the Brotherhood and dissolve the order.

To make living itself an art,
that is the goal."
