Which early Prachett book starts with a guru or wizard obtaining enlightenment then asking his apprentice "go on ask me any question I have observed everything and know it all!" the appretice asked him what he wants for breakfast "ah, one of the difficult ones"

'Ah,' he said. 'One of the difficult ones.'
