"Let's put it atop the highest mountain," offers one. "No," says another," the Human is very ambitious. He will find it there." "Well then, let's bury it beneath the deepest sea."

They will never look there." *************************************************************************** Have you enjoyed reading my posts? Only a few left to go before R' Zalman's first yahrtzeit.
