One day Sa'di was sitting in a bookseller's shop, where his books were sold. The bookseller was absent, and someone came in and asked for one of Sa'di's books, not knowing that he was speaking to the poet himself. Sa'di said, "What do you like about Sa'di's books?" He replied, "O, he is a funny fellow!" Whereupon Sa'di made him a present of the book, and when he wished to pay for it said, "No, I am Sa'di, and when you called me a funny fellow, you gave me all the reward I could wish for!'
