                                                            Sheikh Saadi 
                                            Title: Dress Doesn't Make One Great.

                        Once there was a famous poet named sheikh saadi in Iran. He used to lead a very simple life. Once he was invited by the king of Iran. On his way to the court of king the Iran, he took shelter in a noble man's house for a night. He was then in very simple dressed. The servants of that house treated him for an ordinary man. They didn't care for his comport at all. They gave him very simple food. Saadi felt very sad. But did not tell anything to any body and somehow  passed the night. In the morning, he started for the court. He reached the court and stayed there for some days.

                        On his way back to home, he again took shelter in that noble man's house. This time he was in gorgeous clothes. The nobleman took him to be an elite one as he noticed him in gorgeous dress. He welcomed him very cordially and showed him much respect. After some time, the servants came with rich food for him. Saadi understood the reason why he was treated so nicely. So he decided to teach a good lesson. When they sat down for eating, a strange thing happened. Instead of eating to delicious foods he began to put them into his pockets. The nobleman and his servants were surprised showing this. The nobleman asked politely, “what are you doing, sir?” Saadi replied, “I am doing the right thing. Some days ago when I came to your house in a normal dress. Nobody cared for my comfort. Now I am in gorgeous dress and all of you are showing respect to me and serving rich food. I think, I am not deserved this rich food, it is appropriate only my dress. So, I am putting this food into my pockets. “Hearing this, the nobleman understood his fault. He was very much ashamed and begged pardon to saadi. Then Sheikh saadi realized the mistake of the nobleman and he forgave him.  

From this story we have learned that “Dress does not make one great.  Dress only increases our external beauty of our body. We have also learned from this story, all that glitters is not Gold.
