The famous Sufi poet Fariduddin Attar is taken prisoner by the Mongolians and is said to be sold as a slave. A scholar offers 1000 dinars for the wise Attar, but Attar thinks this is the wrong price and the Mongol does not sell him. But when a craftsman offers the old man a crate of beer, Attar advises the Mongolian to sell him after all, that would be the right price. The Mongol is furious.
