In the old days, in a small village there was an old man who worked as a tailor for the people of the village, but he had a grandson who loved him very much and he used to go with him to the small shop. The child was very smart and he used to watch his grandfather as he worked.
One day the tailor wanted to teach his grandson wisdom and a beautiful exhortation, so he brought a very large piece of cloth, took his scissors and cut that piece into very small pieces, and after he finished cutting all the cloth, he threw the scissors away until it came under the child’s feet.
After that, the tailor brought his needle and sewed the fabrics together to make a dress. Indeed, when he finished sewing, the tailor put the needle in his turban, which he wore over his head. The child was surprised by that and went to ask his grandfather what he was doing.
The child said, “Why, grandfather, did you throw the scissors in the ground, and they are expensive?”
While you put the cheap needle over your head, his grandfather replied to him and said, Son of expensive scissors, he cut the cloth Just separate them into small pieces, while the cheap little needle gathered all the pieces and made a beautiful dress out of them .
This teaches you to differentiate between people. Whoever separates people from each other is not a person of good morals. As for the one who gathers people so that peoples become strong, this is considered his place on the head. He unified the word of people so that they stand next to each other.
