Shaikh Sadi was a great poet. He used to put on simple dress. Once he took shelter in the house of a nobleman. The nobleman could not recognize him and treated him as an ordinary man.without disclosing idendity, the great poet left the house in the next morning . The Nobleman did not know who he was though he know about the greatness and the name and fame of Shaikh sadi. After a couple of manth, Shaikh Sadi came to the same house to spend a night on the wway back home from the court. But he was then dressed in royal suit. When he reached the nobleman house, he was accorded warm reception. The Nobleman entertained him in a different manner. He treated the poet as a great man though he was still unknown about his identity.
"Why am i respected in this manner?" thought the poet. He understood that the dress that he wore was the root cause of the veriation of entertainment. So he wanted to teach the Nobleman a good lesson. The poet took the foods given him to eat and began to put them into his pocket. The Nobleman and all his companions become surprised at this. "What are you doing sir?" ask the Nobleman. " These foods are made for my dress." replied the poet. The Nobleman understood his fault and sought pardon from the royal guest.
