(A question from a young sister)

I asked my dad’s permission, went over and sat beside her, greeted her, and said, “Isn’t it a shame that everyone is looking at you? Wouldn’t it be better to cover yourself? All the men here are looking at you right now. Do you know how sinful that is? God will be displeased with you for doing this.” She turned to me and said, “Yes, little miss, I know all that.” I was surprised by what she said. Teacher, why did that woman dress that way when she knew it was wrong?
