The old man in the car going from Cairo to Aswan must be at least sixty years old and from above he looked like a rustic but worldly and sensible servant from every angle. When the car stopped at a station, a young couple got on the seat in front of the old man. It was clear that they were newlyweds. But sadly, the girl was wearing a very inappropriate dress with Bermuda pants and a sleeveless open-necked shirt, which made not only her shoulders but also her whole body look inviting.
Wearing
such a dress is not an uncommon thing in Egypt, and no one looks at or beats a
girl wearing such a dress. But the girl's husband, along with the other
passengers, was surprised to see that the old man had started tearing the girl
apart.
movements of the man who looked so dignified and respectable on his face were
so good, the eyes of the old man that sometimes on the shoulders of the girl
and sometimes on the bare legs of the girl. On top of that, the old man was now
regularly placing his palms under his chin, as if enjoying the scene with
satisfaction.
The boy was also trembling with anger at the old man's gestures, where the girl was changing from side to side. Finally, he burst out and said: Big man, be ashamed of something, you should be ashamed, look at your age and your actions. Look, turn your face away and let my wife sit still.
The old villager listened to the boy patiently and replied calmly: Boy, I don't want to tell you in reply that you should be ashamed of yourself. Nor will I tell you that you are not ashamed to dress your wife like that? So he is a free man, walking around naked and also walking around with his wife.
But I want to tell you one thing, didn't you dress your wife in such a way that we can see her? If this was your intention, then why the anger and hesitation?
The old man continued; Look, my son, you have the right to see as much as your wife's body is covered, but as much as her body is open, we all have the right to see. And if it is bad for you to see your wife so close to me, then it is not my fault, it is the fault of my eyes which is weak and I have to be close to see.
The old man's words were not a good lesson, but a little different, people knew that the old man had conveyed his message to the couple. If the girl's face was red with embarrassment, the boy was ready to get out of the moving car with his face covered. And so it happened. At the next station, when the boy wanted to get out of the car, the old man shouted from behind. Son, it is okay if the trees in our villages are covered with leaves, otherwise if the leaves fall from a tree or fall off, we cut it with an ax and put it in the oven.
