Everyone considers their own intellect perfect and their own child beautiful.

A Jew and a Muslim were arguing,

So much so that I was overtaken with laughter at their conversation.

The Muslim said boastfully: If this document of mine

Is not correct, O God, may I die a Jew.

The Jew said: I swear by the Torah!

And if I act contrary to it, may I become a Muslim like you.

If intellect were to vanish from the face of the earth,

No one would think of themselves as ignorant.
