Same Story, Different Story

The Quran, the holy Scripture of Islam, contains a telling of the birth of Jesus (Issa) that is different from those stories in the Christian Scriptures in interesting ways. In the Quran, Mary is alone, under a date palm, and the story includes the pain of her childbirth; the infant Jesus is endowed with speech at birth and helps his mother find water and dates.

When have you heard the same story told in a different way? How did it change the way you approached the story?
