The Story of the Jewish Farmer and the Rabbi

Next to our farmer
is his happy wife.

The farmer and his wife
have two lovely children, a
girl and and boy.

This is our
Jewish farmer

Over time the farmer and his family
became prosperous, and they added all
kinds of animals to their farm. Do you see
the many animals on their farm?

One day the family complained that their house was
much too small. The mother said I need more room
in my kitchen, and the children wanted a bigger playroom in
their house. The farmer wanting to please his family, and consulted the
Rabbi about this matter.

This is the farmer

This is the Rabbi.

This is the farmer

This is the Rabbi.

When the farmer talked to the Rabbi about his

problem, the Rabbi offered this advice. "Tell

me farmer Moishe, do you have any chickens

on your farm? " and Moishe said "of course I

do". "Then there's your answer to your

problem. Just place those chickens in your

house and you will find you will have all the

room you need." "Okay? said farmer Moishe,

"you're the Rabbi and I accept your advice."

So the next day farmer Moishe placed all his chickens in his house and boy
did his family complain about those chickens in the house. You could hear
them say: "Now we really have no room in our home. You had better speak to
the Rabbi again about this problem".

So the farmer went back to the rabbi and said with respect. "Dear Rabbi I'm afraid to
tell you that the additional chickens didn't help the situation. In fact, my family is
complaining even more now that there is hardly any room in our house." To which
the Rabbi asked: "Do you have any ducks in your yard?" "Well of course," said farmer
Moishe. "Then I strongly recommend that you place all your ducks in your house."
"Okay Rabbi, I'll do that", said farmer Moishe."

So the farmer went back to the rabbi and said with respect. "Dear Rabbi I'm afraid to
tell you that the additional chicken didn't help the situation. My family is complaining
even more now that there is hardly any room in our house." To which the Rabbi asked:
"Do you have any ducks in your yard?" "Well of course," said farmer Moishe. "Then I
strong recommend that you place all your ducks in your house." "Okay Rabbi, I'll do
that said farmer Moishe."

Well I'm sure that you can imagine how farmer Moishe's
family felt with all the chickens and ducks residing in their
house. They were really upset with living with all the animals in the
their home and they respectfully asked their father to go back
to the learned rabbi to ask for some additional advice.
