The Dubner Maggid delivered a fiery oration before an
assembly of people in Berlin and severely reprimanded their mode of living.
Realizing that there was no response of their part he told them the following
story:
"A blacksmith, who lived in a small village, bought a mechanical
fire blower for shop. Until then he had to blow fire himself. The blacksmith
was delighted with the instrument,. But strangely enough it produced no fire
when he attempted to use it. He blew and blew to no avail. He had forgot the
blower can only create fire if there was a spark inside. So, my friends, since you do not possess the
tidiest spark, of what value is my blowing?”
