How to find this Sufi story?

I heard this story long ago and constantly is repeating in my mind, but forgot the details and now I'm looking for it to re-read it again but couldn't find it in the vast store of information here on internet.

I would be very glad if someone who knows a lot of the Sufi stories to recognize it and give me the name of it or where I can find it to re-read it :)

The story goes like this:

Someone some man was at this Sufi sage and the Sufi sage predicted to the man that in a year or so he will have a beautiful woman, much wealth and health.

After years this man comes back to the Sufi sage and with anger asking him why he did lie to him?

"Past many years and I'm neither wealth nor have a beautiful woman, and my health is very poor"?!

The Sage replied: "Yes I did told you all these words. But what you did? You were opening your house door every morning to look at the horizon to see if this woman is coming." In a way he Expected all of this too much.

This is all I remember. If you recognized the story please let me know where to find it in 'full version'

:)
