The Perfect Woman

There's a Sufi story about a man who sought the perfect woman. Every woman he met fell short of perfection, until finally he met the one paragon, a truly perfect woman. He bragged to his friend about how wonderful she was and how they would live happily ever after together. But the next time his friend saw him, the man was subdued and very quiet. "What happened?" his friend asked. "Oh, but it is very sad," the man said. "She wanted the perfect man."
