Lebele is a little boy 10 years old,
with pale eyes, and black hair that
falls in twisted ringlets, but, of
course, the ringlets are only seen
when his hat falls' off, for Lebele is a
pious little boy, who never uncovers
his head.
There arc things that Lebele loves
and never has, or else he has them
only in part, and that is why his eyes
are always dreamy and troubled, and
always full of longing.
Ile loves the summer and sits the
whole day in ('heder. Ile loves the
sun, and the Rebbe hangs his chaftan

of his elders.
Late in the evening he comes
home from Cheder. The sun has al-
ready set, the street is cheerful and
merry, the cockchafers whizz and,
flying, hit him on the nose, the ear,
the forehead.
It seems to him that when the sun

Now go and tell him that it is not

are now, Lebele is not happy, and it's a pleasure to hear how the cock-
chafers whirr, that even the hits
they give you on the wing are
I friendly, and mean, "Hallo, old fel-
! low!" Of course, it's a wild sbsurd-

, itv! It amuses him, because he is a
, great man, who trades in wood and
' corn, and who always knows the cur-
, rent prices—when a thing is dearer
' and when it is cheaper. His father
can speak the Gentile language, and
drive bargains; his father under-
stands the Prussian weights. Is that
a man to he thought lightly of? Go
I and tell him, if you dare, that its de-
lightful now out in the street.
And Lebele hurries straight home.
When he has reached it, his father
asks him how many chapters he has

father hums *me without looking
at him; if he says only three, his
tallier is angry, and asks:

soul. Lebele loves the moon, the
night, but at home they close the
shutters and Lebele, on his little bed, • •
feels as if he were buried alive. And
Lebele cannot understand people's,
behaving so oddly.

Women! Learn the
His father is silent—a sign that he
is satisfied—and they sit down to sup-
per. Lebele's father keeps an eye on
him the whole time, and instructs him
, how to eat.
"Is that how you hold your
spoon?" inquires the father, and Le-
bele holds the spoon lower, and the
! food sticks in his throat.
After supper Lebele has to say
grace aloud and in correct Hebrew,
I according to custom. If he mumbles
I a word, his father calls out:
"What did I hear? What? Once

more, 'Wherew i th

And Lebele says it over again, al-
: though he is in a great hurry, al-
, though he longs to run out into the
I street and the words do seem to burn
: him.
' When it is dark, he repeats the

confused in his praying.

"It is time to close the shutters-

father wakes and calls out:
"What are you after there, eh?

And Lebele nestles quietly down

And Lebele is silent, and feels
guilty, before his father.
After that his father makes him
translate a Hebrew work.
"Translate 'Kimlunah!' "
" 'Kimlunah' means 'like an pass- 9
