Relativity

A scholar said to ...:
"You often say that our logical questions are incomprehensible to you.
Can you give an example of what they seem like to you?" "Here is an example. I was once travelling by train and we went
through seven tunnels. Opposite me was sitting a peasant who obviously
never been in a train before. After seventh tunnel the peasant tapped
me on the knee and said:
'This Train is complicated. On my donkey I can get to my village in
only one day. But by train, which seem to be travelling faster than a
donkey, we have not yet arrived at home, though the sun has risen and
set seven whole times.'"
...
I like this too - it can so easily be expressed in English but no
great men of letters have written them.

A certain Bektashi dervish was respected for his piety and appearance
of virtue. Whenever any one askes him how he had become so holy, he
always answered: "I know what is in Koran."
One day when he just given this reply to an enquirer in a coffee
house, when an imbecile asked: "Well, what is in the Koran?"
"In the Koran," said Bektashi, "there are two pressed flowers and a
letter from my friend Abdullah."
