Muhammad Ali's daughter arrived at his home wearing revealing clothes.
He said to her: 'Hana, everything that God made valuable in the world
is covered and hard to get to.Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in
the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down
at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful
shell. Where do you find gold? Way down and in... the mine, covered
over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get
them.'
He looked at her with serious eyes and then said 'Your body is sacred.
You'refar more precious than diamonds and pearls, and you should be
covered too.'
