"Yummy cupcake". A Jewish parable about rich and poor



Everyone judges from the belltower. The website says the wise Jewish parable about how different people perceive life. The beggar enthusiastically tells his wife how great the cake was offered to him at a rich house.

— Ask for a prescription, says the wife. I will also bake a cake.

Beggar interrogates the cook, then reported to his wife:

— Take a dozen eggs...

— A dozen I can't afford. I'll take two.

Okay. Still need a pound of butter...

Where, I wonder, I'll take butter?

So, no butter... On: a quarter of a pound of raisins...

— Is it necessary? Raisins are very expensive.

— No, I guess not necessarily...: pound of wheat flour.

— Rejoice that rye is in the house!

— For me, and rye will do.

— Then put the dough into a round shape and bake in the oven.

— The oven we have. Forms, too. Bake the cake in hot ashes...

The cupcake is ready. The woman tries.

— Ugh, — she says — and that those rich in this find?!.
