Little six year old Sarah Federman, came home from school whining, "Mommy, I've got a stomach ache."
"That's because your stomach is empty," her mother replied. "You'd feel better if you had something in it." She gave Sarah a snack and sure enough, Sarah felt better right away.
That afternoon Rabbi Solomon, the family’s Rabbi dropped by. While he was chatting with Mrs. Federman, he mentioned he'd had a bad headache all day long.
Sarah perked up. "That's because it's empty," she said. "You'd feel better if you had something in it. My Mommy taught me that."
