But the part that is exposed is the part that we all have the right to see.
It is said that the elderly man riding in the car going from Cairo to Aswan must be at least sixty years old, and from above, his appearance and clothing looked like a villager but a worldly and sensible person from every angle.
When the car stopped at a station, a young couple got on and sat in the seat in front of the old man.
It was clear that they were newlyweds.
But the sad thing was that the girl was wearing a very inappropriate outfit, Bermuda pants, with a sleeveless, open-necked shirt, which made not only her shoulders but also her entire body an inviting sight.
In Egypt, wearing such a dress is not an untouchable thing, and no one looks at or criticizes a girl wearing such a dress.
But the surprise of the girl's husband, along with the other passengers, was noticeable that this old man had started to stare at the girl with his eyes.
The movements of the man who looked so dignified and respectful from the face were so high, the old man's eyes were sometimes on the girl's shoulders and sometimes on the girl's bare legs.
What was more pleasing from above was that the old man now regularly rested his palms under his chin and seemed to be enjoying the scene with satisfaction.
While the girl was restless and changing sides from side to side due to these movements of the old man, the boy was also seething with anger.
Finally, he burst out and said:
Elder husband, have some modesty,
You should be ashamed,
Look at your age and watch your movements,
Turn your face to the other side and let my wife sit in peace.
The old villager listened to the boy patiently and replied politely:
Boy, I don't want to tell you to be ashamed of yourself.
Nor will I tell you that you are not ashamed to dress your wife like this?
You are a free man,
Even if you walk around naked and walk around with your wife.
But I definitely want to tell you one thing, didn't you dress your wife like this so that we could see her. If that was your intention, then why are you angry and agitated?
The old man continued his speech and said;
Look, son, you have the right to see as much of your wife's body as is covered,
But as much of her body is exposed, we all have the right to see.
And if you feel bad about me looking at your wife so close, it is not my fault, but my eyesight, which is weak and I have to get close to see. The old man's words were not a good lesson, but a little aside, People had come to know that the old man had conveyed his message to this couple. The girl's face was turning red with shame, so the boy covered his face and got out of the moving car. And so it happened, At the next station, when the boy wanted to jump out to get out of the car, the old man called out from behind and said; Son, in our villages, it is fine if the trees are covered with leaves, Otherwise, if the leaves fall or fall from a tree, we cut it with an axe and put it in the oven.
