PRICELESS ADVICE

Cohen came to the rabbi:

“Rabbi, you are such a wise and learned person, advise me what to do with my geese. They are dying off one by one.”

“Change their water every morning.”

Three days later Cohen returned to the rabbi:

“Rabbi, my geese are still dropping.”

“Give them some fresh oats.”

Three days later Cohen returned once again:

“Rabbi, the geese are still dropping dead.”

“Try to whitewash their enclosure.”

Three days later Cohen and the rabbi ran into each other:

“Rabbi, every last one of my geese has perished.”

“What a pity, I still have so many pieces of good advice left.”
