This is a famous story from the Japanese classic "Tsuretsuregusa(Essays In Idleness)" published around 1330.
Once upon a time, there lived an expert tree climber.
One day he ordered his apprentice to climb a very tall tree to cut off some branches.
The master said nothing when the man was climbing at a very dangerous height.
It was when the man climbed down to a low, much safer position, that the master gave him a warning; "Pay attention!"
The author of this essay, who was looking on as this happened, asked the master why he gave the man a warning when he was in such a safe place.
"It's in a position of safety that you usually fail. So I drew his attention when he came to a low position," the master replied.
Kenko-hoshi, the author of this essay,was so deeply impressed by the master's comment that he wrote this story down.
