Same 2 brothers. One with a large family (A) and one who was single (B). A proceeds to steal from B becuase A has so many mouths to feed. B steals from A becuase B has no one to care for him in his old age.<br /><br />One night they come upon each other and proceed to beat each other senseless. God looks down from heaven and realizes that this is no ordiary place - this place is truly special. And that's where they built the Knesset.<br /><br />JZKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-71596331714530717552010-06-24T23:37:28.366-04:002010-06-24T23:37:28.366-04:00DF

I had to laugh. It was the story of Damon and Pythias that we had read in my third grade story book. [Of course, not to say that it couldnt have been copted by a midrash like the Sedom beds or others. But I thought the Damon and Pythias story was pretty well known.]<br /><br />DFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
