The Hodja stood up, shook the dust from his robe, and put it back on. He turned to the stunned crowd and said, "You see? The Earth was just waiting for a reminder. Sometimes, you have to wear the color of the future you want to see before it actually arrives."
He walked back to his house, his green robe fluttering like a leaf in the wind, leaving the villagers to watch the spring bloom exactly where he had rested.
The phrase (He has donned his green robe) is most famously associated with the legendary figure Nasreddin Hodja , specifically in the context of his "miracles" or humorous encounters with nature and spirituality .
The villagers gasped. "Look! The green is spreading from the Hodja’s robe to the soil!"
