Tales
Retold
MANS WORLD AFTER ALL
by Rabbi Abraham Levitan

King solomon, who was the
wisest man of all time, knew
and understood the various and
numerous languages of all hu-
man beings, as well as that of
all the beasts and birds.
One day while the king was
casually strolling in the palace
grounds. his attention was at
tracted by a quarrel between a
male bird and his mate. Looking
up the king saw the birds stand
ing on the dome of the Temple.
After listening for a while King
Solomon heard the male bird say
to his mate, That will do. /
have heard enough from you. If
YOU utter another word. | will
stamp my foot and destroy this
beautiful temple.
When the king heard this, he
became very much astonished.
Addressing himself to the OBJ
streperous bird he said, Come
down here, I want to speak to
YOU The little winged creature,
hiding his great fright at being
summoned by the king, said to
his bewlldered little mate, You
wait here; l am flying down TO
confer with the Great King So
lomon, who as you observed call
ed me for a conference.
The little bird overawed by
the kings command. and her
mates great Importance, almost
collapsed when her mate left to
fly down to the king. She watch
ed nerVouSly as her mate APP
preached King Solomon and
stood before him trembling over
his entire body The distance was
too far for her to hear what was
being said.
When the frightened little bird
approached close enough, King
Solomon said softly, why do
you treat your little mate SO
harshly and brighten herr" The
little fcathered creature, still
trembling all over from fright,
replied almost inaudibly, Il
didn't want to brighten her Your
Majesty; that was the only way
I had to impress her of my inn
rortance. l was afraid if she
does not admire me, she might
leave me" The wise king great
ly amused by this answer, very
gently remarked. you must
learn to win your mates respect
by love and affection, by kind
and gentle treatment; not the
way YOU have been going about
it.
The little bird much relieved,
quickly flew to his mate who
stood where ne had left her, still
trembling and very much excit-
cd, Without giving him a chance
30 get his breath, she chirped
furtively, Well what did the,
Great King have TO say?" His
head IN the air. and his chest
way out, the male bird laughtily
replied. "Oh that? King Solomon
pleaded with me not to destroy
the Temple, so / promised him
that would not.

have thoroughly checked Bleib-
treau's original claim that he
slipped Goering a poison capsule
and found no basis for it.
Bleibtreau previously had told
several German magazines that he
