THE WOMAN AND THE CARROT
Parable Taken From the Russian + NIX
Lore Points Lesson Full
of Meaning.

This was the story my friend the
Arkansas rabbi told. It is from the
folk lore of Russia:
A woman who had lain IN torment
q thousand years lifted her face to-
ward heaven and cried to the Lord to
set her free, for she could endure 1t no
longer. And he looked down and said:
"Can you remember one thing you
did for human being without reward
In your earth life?"
The woman groaned in bitter an
guish, for shD had lived in selfish
ease; the neighbor had been nothing to
her.
"Was there not one? Think well!"
"Once-it was nothing-I gave to a
starving man a carrot, and he thanked
me-"
"Bring, then. the carrot. Where ia
it?"
'It is long since, Lord" she sobbed
~and 1t is lost"
mot 80. Witness of the one un
selfish deed of your life. it could moi
perish. Co." said the Lord to an an
gel, find the carrot and bring Il

seized her hands, her waist, her feet,
her garments, and clung to them with
despairing cries, SO that there rose
out of the pit an ever-lengthening
