Bizah and His Robe

May 19, 2013

“How can people suddenly change their view of you when you change your clothes?” Bizah asked his Master.

A few days later, Bizah had his robe back. When his Master saw him he asked, “How do you feel now that you are able to wear your robe again?”

“Oh, I feel wonderful.”

“Hmm,” said the Master, “that doesn’t make sense to me either, Bizah.”
