Ibn Sina. Ingenuity
The guests were served by beautiful, smiling, elegantly dressed girls, fluttering from guest to guest with a light dance step to Eastern music. One of them leaned before Ibn Sina with a large plate of pilaf. However, as she set down the dish, the girl gasped and was unable to straighten up. Apparently, the dish was quite heavy, and the girl was very fragile…
The guests were sitting on the floor, and the poor girl froze before them in a bent position. All eyes were on her. The situation needed to be salvaged.
Then, without losing his composure, Ibn Sina sharply pinched the girl on the chest. She cried out in surprise and straightened up – her vertebra was back in place!
The girl, embarrassed, ran away, while the attendees smiled, appreciating the resourcefulness of the famous Teacher.
