A Matchmaker in a Small, European Town...

after much consideration....
decided to introduce a  CHICKEN and a COW....
although people would surely BALK at this potential coupling...
She(the matchmaker), let's call her SARA....
knew full well that these two were compatible...
The COW, a male,  was about 20 years younger,
 (but the ASHTON / DEMI thing had straightened that out!)
Their values, each of them, were grounded in moral fiber...
They were both lively and energetic....
(although honestly, HOW ENERGETIC CAN A COW BE ??)
They both LAUGHED at the same jokes...
Kept their savings in the same BANK...
ok !! ok !!
There was ONLY ONE BANK IN TOWN !!!
LOL
Nonetheless, Sara knew full well that these two would be PERFECT TOGETHER....
The chicken, (a female), YEARNED to feel small and dainty....
She'd spent her life in a family of PETITE chickens...
She was always the largest of them...
Hence, she had issues around weight...:}}
What more perfect match than a GIGANTIC, masculine COW ?
Right ???
Am I right ??
The cow was NOT a JEW...
but had been around Jews in the neighborhood from birth...
Sara was CERTAIN that he would CONVERT, if necessary....
Other than the difference in SPECIES and RELIGION,
these two creatures were a match made in heaven !!!
NOW...
Sara had her work cut out for her...
She still had to CONVINCE the two of them , (not to mention their parents!)
that meeting would be a GOOD IDEA....

So...
Sara decided to host a Shabbos dinner in her home...
and to,ever-so-nonchalantly,
invite the CHICKEN family as well as the COWs....
And UNDERSTAND ME CLEARLY...
THIS WAS NOT DONE as a rule !!!
""Never the twain nor twixt nor twither shall meet..""
(Who said that ???)
SPECIES stayed on their own side...
Nonetheless,
Sara KNEW that in doing so...
the SPINSTER ish, middle aged, chicken and the young, STALLION of a COW...  :}}}}
would meet and fall in love....
SHE JUST KNEW IT !!
Sara had NOT come by her position lightly !!
She knew her BUSINESS !!
And mind you, SHE WAS A thoroughly, MODERN MATCHMAKER!

Both families agreed to come to dinner...
It was an INTER RACIAL Shabbos dinner for ANIMALS....
The evening was a SMASHING SUCCESS !!
So much so that ALL the local tabloids (haha!!
 all ONE of them !)
 did a HUGE story the following SUNDAY...

The mixed couple met....fell in love at FIRST SIGHT...
and the rest is history...
Move over, ASHTON / DEMI !!!




IS IT ALL RELATIVE ?

What makes a traumatic situation real and not somehow sensationalized or exaggerated ? What constitutes real trauma ? Is it all relative ? I...
