The Unexpected Encounter

no worries, very lazy & very ignorant... Become a Calender.

But, I would not gain much from that; your fare must be very thin, since you are obliged to beg.

Eh! my friend, you are like everyone else, you judge the wood by its bark.

Well, my merry fellow, will you not admit that it is very wise & very clever to renounce everything in order to eat nothing? Do you want to join us?

With all my heart.

That being the case, you only have to put on our Siquenille rough garment/dervish robe. Come, let us get you dressed.

I look like a Greek calendar A pun on "Calender" (the dervish) and "calendar" (the almanac)..

I gave that habit to a famous French Painter who stopped in Cairo while traveling, & who, charmed by the pleasant life we lead, prefers to join us than to earn millions by working.

That is what great men are like!
