On Saturday morning, when David Fischer went to warm his breakfast in his microwave, he discovered a bowl containing 3T melted butter. Only in that instant did Fischer realize the butter was absent from a loaf of challah he had made on Friday afternoon. The challah had not been chorrible. As a matter of fact, Fischer and a friend had remarked that the challah was a little chewy, but Fischer, when assembling the ingredients, had twice or thrice reviewed the written recipe and never for a moment suspected he had left anything out.
Questions for Discussion
1. The author has titled this piece “A Story With a Moral.” Do you consider yourself a moral person? Please tell us more.
2. What moral do you see in this story; what lesson do you think Mr. Fischer should take to heart?
3. If you smiled at “the challah had not been chorrible,” did you also smile at “the challah was a little chewy?” If you smiled at neither, do you mind the author’s asking, with all due respect, What the hell is wrong with you?
If you, dear reader (or gentle reader, as the case may be), would be so kind as to send the author an e-mail with your contemplative conclusions in response to Question #2, he will consider sharing your ideas with the general gentle readership of this Web site. Please indicate whether you would like your name to be published with your answer to Question #2.
