Kisah Sufi

A man moved to a new town and needed a home. He asked his cousin, who lived in that town, to help him. The man’s cousin showed him a dilapidated house. “Here’s a house! If it only had a roof, you’d find it very comfortable. And if it just had another room or two, it would be big enough for your whole family. And if you get a cat, the cat would get rid of the rats.” And so on. “My dear cousin,” said the man, “I cannot live in an if. I don’t need ifs: I need a house!” TINY T TALES ALES FROM THE SUFIS 161
