A Sufi story
A mulla was praying the Islamic prayer outdoors. A young woman walked by and passed right in front of him. He saw this and became very angry.
Some time later she was walking back in the other direction. The mulla called out, "Young lady, don't you know it's a sin to walk in front of someone who's praying?"
She answered, "Oh, I'm sorry! I was on my way to to meet my lover... I never saw you."
