Goldberg had the loveliest garden in town and each time the Rabbi passed by he
would call out to Goldberg, “Your garden is a thing of beauty. The Lord and you
are partners!”
“Thank you. Rabbi,” Goldberg would respond with a bow.
This went on for days and weeks and months. At least twice a day the Rabbi, on his
way to and from the synagogue would call out, “The Lord and you are partners!”
until Goldberg began to be annoyed at what the Rabbi evidently meant as a
compliment.
So the next time the Rabbi said, “The Lord and you are partners,” Goldberg
replied, “That may be true. But you should have seen this garden when the Lord had
it all on his own!”
