Kisah Sufi
The Mule and the Camel
A mule and a camel were traveling together through the mountains. As they ascended and descended the rocky paths, the mule often stumbled, but the camel never stumbled. “Why am I always stumbling while you are so surefooted?” asked the mule. “It’s because I see the upward heights,” said the camel, “while you see only what is below. At the top of each rise, I foresee the pass ahead, and in this way God lets me discern the shape of things to come. You can only see a few steps ahead. Holding my head up high, I can look beyond.” TINY T TALES ALES FROM THE SUFIS 185
