Next day, one is smoking the other is not.

Not smoking #1 I thought you were asking master if we should smoke or not.
Smoking #2 I did. What did you ask master?

#1 - not smoking, " Is it ok to smoke while I meditate?"
Master: Absolutely not.

#2 - smoking, "Ah, I asked master is it ok to meditate while I smoke?"
Master: Absolutely.
