IT WAS HANUKKAH AND THE PEOPLE IN THE TINY
VILLAGE WERE IN FEAR OF NOT HAVING ANY LATKES BECAUSE
THEY HAD RUN OUT OF FLOUR.
RUDOLPH THE RABBI WAS CALLED UPON TO HELP SOLVE
THE PROBLEM.

HE SAID, "DON'T WORRY, YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE
MATZO MEAL FOR THE FLOUR
AND THE LATKES WILL BE JUST AS DELICIOUS!"

ROSALIE LOOKED TO HER HUSBAND AND SAID, "MORTY,
YOU THINK IT'LL WORK?"

AND MORTY REPLIED, "OF COURSE! ... EVERYBODY
KNOWS... RUDOLPH, THE REB, KNOWS GRAIN, DEAR!"


A NEW DREIDLE SONG:

I

I have a little dreidle I made this one from clay
I thought I'd make another
And try it a different way.

II

I took a piece of cardboard
Some staples and the pen
But whey I try to use it
It simply would not spin

Chorus

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle How come you will not spin I think I'll make another
And try my luck again.



III

I took a piece of metal
and made one in the shop,
I tell you then what happened
When that dreidle dropped

Chorus

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle
It fell upon my toe
and when they take my cast off
I won't use it any more.

IV

I made one out of cotton
It was much fun to play
I left the window open
My dreidle flew away


Chorus

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle
I thought I'd be so bright,
I think I'll make another
This time I'll get it right



V

I made one out of ice-cream
It was so nice and sweet
But one day I was hungry
My dreidle I did eat

Chorus

Oh, dreidle, dreidle, dreidle
I better stick with clay
And when it's dry and ready
My dreidle I shall play!
