Once upon a time, there lived a group of people called Trids, and the
Trids had a problem. On a mountain near their lush valley home lived a
large giant, and he made the mountain impassable. Whenever a poor little
Trid tried to leave, the giant would pick the Trid up, and viciously kick
the poor thing back to the valley.
One day, however, the Trids got fed up. They
called in a Rabbi and asked him to go up to the mountain with some Trids
to see if he could persuade the monster to stop. So up they went, higher
and higher, until at last they came to the dreaded mountain pass. Then
suddenly the giant appeared, and picked up the first of 5 trids the Rabbi
had with him, and kicked him down to the valley.
"Wait!" yelled the Rabbi, but
alas, one by one, all 5 trids ended back home. Then the giant turned and
made ready to leave.
"Hold it! Why didn't you kick me down
there too?", asked the Rabbi.
The Giant replied:
"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for
Trids."
