‘That I do not understand yet,’ confessed the younger one. ‘If
a man makes a mistake, surely it is my duty to point it out to

and learn from the consequence of his deed. What he has
learned in this way he will not so soon forget.’Mohammed‘Believe me, my son, it takes more love to let men follow a wrong
