Chapter XI
Reb Shloimeh finished reciting "Incense." "When shall you teach the children all that?" he asked then, looking into the prayer-book with a scowl. "Not for a long time, not so quickly," answered the teacher. "The children cannot understand everything." "I should think not, anything so wonderful!" replied Reb Shloimeh, ironically, gazing at the prayer-book and beginning "Happy are we."
