Ch 02 The Morals Of Dervishes Story 43

A pious man saw an acrobat in great dudgeon, full of wrath and foaming at the mouth. He asked: `What is the matter with this fellow?? A bystander said: `Someone has insulted him.? He remarked: `This base wretch is able to lift a thousand mann of stones and has not the power to bear one word.? Abandon thy claim to strength and manliness. Thou art weak-minded and base, whether thou be a man or woman. If thou art able, make a sweet mouth. It is not manliness to strike the fist on a mouth. Although able to tear up an elephant?s front He is not a man who possessed no humanity. A man?s nature is of earth. If he is not humble he is not a man.
