Completing story : Dress does not Make a Man Great

The king of Iran used to invite the great poet Seikh Sa’adi very often to his court. Once on his way to the king’s court, the poet took shelter in a nobleman’s house for a night. He was then in a very simple dress. The nobleman could not recognize him and his people did not show him proper respect. Next morning the poet left the nobleman’s house in utter dismay. 

A few days later, he again went there putting on a rich and gorgeous dress. This time he was duly respected and honored by the people of the nobleman's house. They gave him rich food to eat. The poet did not eat the food rather he began to put the food in his pocket. Being astonished the nobleman asked the poet about his mysterious behavior. Then, the poet said. "This food is for my dress, not for me. Had it been not so, I would have been treated in the same manner   when I was very poorly dressed." The nobleman was really sad for this. He begged forgiveness of the poet.
