Pet Relatives

Dr. Feld, the professor of Hebrew Language, conducted his classes with such orderliness that even the office was surprised. This he accomplished by adopting his students as relatives. Frequently, you could hear him affectionately speaking to one of them saying, "you're in real trouble, Brudder." Nootkin, Weinfeld, and Fruchter were his pet relatives. He liked them so much that he used to correspond with  their parents and often wanted to meet them. 

However, Nootkin, Weinfeld and Fruchter, being very modest, did not desire their parents to meet the "Big Brudder." And so, Dr. Feld was very much offended.
