THE RABBITS PRESENT
A Rabbi once. by all admired.
Received, OF high esteem the sign,
From those his goodness thus inspired,
A present of cask Of wine.
But 10! when soon he came to draw,
miracle in mode as rapid
But quite unlike what Cana saw,
Had turned his wine 10 water vapld
The Rabbi never knew the cause,
For miracles are things OF mystery,
Tho some. like this, have had their laws
Explained from facts OF private history.
His friends, whom love did aptly teach
Wished all to share the gracious task
So planned to bring bottle each
And pour their wine in one great cask.
Now one by chance thought, None will
know,
And with the wine Of all nv brothers
One pint OF water well may co."
And so by chance thought all the others!
