Sa'adi Sa'adi writes in the account if his life: "Once I had no shoes and I had to walk barefoot in the hot sand, and I thought how very miserable I was. And then I met a man who was lame, for whom walking was very difficult. I bowed down at once to heaven and offered thanks that I was much better off than he, who had not even feet to walk upon." One day Sa'adi was sitting in a bookseller's shop, where his books were sold. The bookseller was absent, and someone came in and asked for one of Sa'adi's books, not knowing that he was speaking to the poet himself. Sa'adi replied: "What do you like about Sa'adi's books?" He replied: "Oh, he is a funny fellow!" Whereupon Sa'adi made him a present of the book, and when he wished to pay for it said: "No, I am Sa'adi, and when you called me a funny fellow, you gave me all the reward I could wish for!" |
