They have much to tell each other,
not having met throughout the whole

the whole Hebrew alphabet. Fedoka
boasts that he has a whip. Feitel
boasts that it is the eve of Passover.
They have "matzos" for the whole
festival and wine. "Do you remem-

the "matzo." "Would you like to

question? "Then come with me,"
