Reading." He thanked the old man, headed to where the room was, entered and found a bed, a chair, and everything for comfort more than he expected. He sat at the edge of the bed thinking about the conversations they had, especially about the water he was to pour into the well instead of drawing water from it, but he was told not to ask. And behold, such a wonderful garden. Moreover, there was not a single person in this place except for this old man, yet he was told not to ask.
Since early morning, he took a bucket and began drawing water to pour into the well as instructed, until he poured exactly ten buckets.
After he finished, he went to his horse, the Guide, and patted it, and the horse responded with a neigh like a greeting before it turned and entered the forest to graze.
Idris then headed to the teacher's room, greeted him, and was told to enter. He greeted the teacher with respect, and the teacher responded with a smile of affection.
Idris said, "I have poured the water." The old man replied, "I know."
Idris was surprised how he knew even though he hadn't come out, but there was no opportunity to ask.
After they finished breakfast, Sheikh Ibrahim said, "My dear Idris, before we begin, I want you to give me the reason why you want to acquire knowledge, or in short, tell me the importance of knowledge." Idris replied, "Oh, this esteemed teacher, I am just a child, so I know that indeed I only know a little about the importance and benefits of knowledge.
Knowledge brings a person out of darkness, guiding him to light, and if you have knowledge, then you have dignity, and all your power, wealth, and prestige, if you do not have it, then you and a donkey are no different in creation; you are just a person and its name is donkey.
Knowledge is a blanket, and whoever wraps himself in it is not humiliated. You may see a poor person, but as long as he has knowledge, he becomes a great person, people give him respect, and he can hold positions that even the neighborhood chief has never dreamed of."
