Don’t give up a good Question for a 30 second answer

The first story is of a man who wants to give away the question which was driving him for an easy and quick answer. The 2nd story is of the Chiduahei Harim (the first Rebbe of Ger). He left his Rebbe to join Kotzk because his Rebbe would give him a kiss and tell him how wonderful he was when he asked a question. He wanted a Rebbe who would “smack” him: motivate him to work harder. He found this in Kotzk.
