Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder


There is a Sufi tale concerning the Prophet Isa (Jesus) which I rather like. It runs something like this:

Jesus and his disciples were travelling through a town in Palestine when they came upon a dead and decaying dog lying by the roadside. The disciples all began to exclaim, `What an ugly site! What a stench!' and so on. But all Jesus said was, `Ah but pearls cannot equal the whiteness of its teeth.'
