the way I heard the story is that the chofetz chaim himself had a hergesh to stay in bed one day for after all, he was an old man and could use his sleep and he replied to the yetzer hara, you are way older than me and up bright and early doing your job, so is no excuse for me. either way, nice story. nice lesson. doesnt change the 1st line in shulchan aruch or how to apply it to ones every day life.
