Goldberg had the loveliest garden in town and each time the

Rabbi passed by he would call out to Goldberg, " Your garden

is a thing of beauty. The Lord and you are partners! "

 

" Thank you, Rabbi, " Goldberg would respond with a bow.

 

This went on for days and weeks and months. At least twice

a day the Rabbi, on his way to and from the synagogue, would

call out, " The Lord and you are partners! " until Goldberg

began to be annoyed at what the Rabbi evidently meant as a

compliment.

 

So the next time the Rabbi said, " The Lord and you are

partners, " Goldberg replied, " That may be true. But you

should have seen this garden when the Lord had it all on his

own! "

 

Anthony de Mello, S.J.
