(There is an old Sufi story about
three men who found a bag of 17 gold pieces in a field. They could not
decide how to share the gold so they went to Mullah Nasrudin and asked him to
decide. He asked them, "Would you have me divide it as I see fit or as God
would do it?" "As God would do it," they all said at once. "Here,
then," said the Mullah, "ten for you, five for you, and two for
you.")
