An excited peasant ran into the teahouse
- Danger! Something needs to be done! - he shouted. - There's a monkey! There's a knife in her paws!
“Calm down and don’t shout,” the Sufi’s voice was heard. The sage was sitting in the corner of the teahouse, deep in thought. “A knife in the paws of a monkey is not at all the same as a knife in a man’s hand.” There is nothing to be afraid of.
Soon the peasant saw the monkey again. She had long ago thrown away the knife and was now amusing herself with another find.
