Dress does not make a man great
 |
| Sheikh saadi |
Sheikh saadi was a great poet in Arab. He used to put on simple dress. Once he took shelter in the house of a noble man. The nobleman could not recognize him and treated him as an ordinary man. The people of that house did not deal well with the poet. Rather they showed disrespect and dishonor to him. The poet left the nobleman’s house in an utter dismay.
A few days later, he
went there again putting on a gorgeous dress. This time e was duly respected
and honored by the people of the rich man’s hourse.They give him rich food to
eat.
The poet did not eat the food but he began to put the food in his pocket.
Seeing it, the rich man was astonished. He asked the poet about his mysterious
behavior. Then the poet said, this food is for my dress but not for me.
Had it not been so, I
would have been treated in the same manner when I was very poorly dressed. The
rich man was really sorry for this. He begged apology for his previous
behavior.
