His Humbleness

The Twenty-First Story

The funeral was over, a vast crowd gathered around Ayatollah Bahjat;
They wanted to come closer to him, ask him to pray for them, and kiss his hands.
Amid the crowd, a young man was to hustle away the crowd when unintentionally he hit Ayatollah Bahjat;
The Ayatollah fell so heavily to the ground,
and his turban fell off his head.
The young man was scared so much;
Open-mouthed, he looked at people,
He was flushed with shame;
People were worried about Ayatollah Bahjat;
He stood up immediately;
put his turban on his head and said,
“My cloak is a little long, sometimes it sticks under my feet, and causes me fall down to the ground.”
People laughed, so did Ayatollah Bahjat,...
The young man looked at his cloak.
