Just passing through

Author: Paulo Coelho

By Paulo Coelho

An American tourist went to Cairo to visit the famous Polish rabbi Hafez Ayim. The tourist was surprised to see that the rabbi lived in a simple, book-lined room, in which the only pieces of furniture were a table and a bench.
 
‘Rabbi, where’s all your furniture?’ asked the tourist.
 
‘Why, where’s yours?’ retorted Hafez.
 
‘Mine? But I’m just passing through.’
 
‘So am I,’ said the rabbi.
