HUNA, THE FARMER
By Rabbi .1. Mess Weis.
There was one country in which !
many Jewish farmers could still be
found after the Romans had driven
!them from their land, and that coun-
try was Babylon. One of the most
famous of these Babylonian farmers' '
was Iluna. Iluna was a very, very ,
poor man. Though he worked all day
in the fields, he always found time I
to read and to study.
One day, as he went to the school I
'
near his farm, his teacher looked at'
him and said: "Huns, where is your
! belt?" He was wearing a piece of
'rope about his waist. Huns replied:,
"My dear teacher, I did ant have
enough money to buy wine for the
Sabbath Kiddush, so 1 sold my belt."
He had very little money, but his
wisdom was far more precious than
, all the wealth in the worts. It was
I not long before every one in Babylon
heard of this very wise farmer.
In those days, whenever people
had a quarrel or a dispute, they
would go to their rabbi, who acted
just as a judge does in our own
I courts.
Huns became a rabbi, but he still
continued to be a farmer. Ile did
not like to spend his whole life read-
ing and studying. Whenever a man,
would ask him to act as judge on,
some matter, Huna would say: "I
I will act as judge on one condition.
!You must give me a man who will
I do my farm work while I decide your
I cannot afford to neglect my
case.
fa
I Some people thought it was • pity
for a man so wise as liana to work.;
One day a very rich man met this
farmer-rabbi as he was leaving his
fields, carrying his farm tools on his
shoulder. This rich man said to
Iluna: "I do not want people to see
you carrying tools like a workingman
as you walk through the town. Please
let me carry them for you." Huns
refused him and said. "You never,
do this sort of work. You think it
is unbecoming for a man who has
' wealth or an education to do farm
work. I shall, therefore, not let you
carry these tools now."
After many, many years, he be-
came a very rich farmer. Every Fri-
day some poor farmers would come
to the town in which Huns lived, in
order to sell their vegetables. They
were very eager to sell all they had,
at least two hours before it became I
dark, FO that they might return to
their homes before the Sabbath eve..
One Friday, as Rabbi Huns walked
through the market-place, he noticed
that some of the farmers, who had
been there • week ago, were missing.
On the following Friday he went
through the market-place again, and
he was surprised to find that fewer
farmers than ever before had come
to sell their vegetables.
