Lots of possibilities in a story that could be inspiring or not. All depends on how we take it.

I took it to mean the guy on the hill was just sittin there but someone saw himself as 'student' and to validate that imposed the image of 'master' on the poor bloke who was just sittin there.

It works the other way round too.
