A Lost Abaya Nearly Cost Father Sense of Pride
Arab News
TAIF, 5 April 2006 - A lost abaya and a prideful father left a 4th grader
at school with no one to pick her up, the daily Al-Madinah reported. The father
of the girl refused to allow is daughter into the car because she had lost her
abaya, which would have forced the father to suffer the cruel indignity of
having to take his ten-year-old daughter home without the safety of a black
piece of fabric covering her head. Teachers called the police after it became
apparent that the father would refuse to take his daughter home. A peacekeeping
officer took the initiative of buying an abaya for the girl. Since the father's
pride was saved from utter public humiliation by a thoughtful cop, he agreed to
take his girl home - but not before accusing school officials of stealing the
girl's veil.
