In the wise city of Chelm, Chaim was once searching
desperately under a street lamp. His friend Moshe passed by, and asked him what
he was seeking. “I lost my expensive gold watch”, Chaim explained, “and I must
find it”.
Well, Moshe was good-natured, and immediately joined his
friend in his quest. But, an hour passed, with no progress being made. Finally,
Moshe questioned Chaim: “Are you sure that this is where you lost it?”
“Not at all”, Chaim clarified, “as a matter of fact, I
know with certainty that it was lost 2 blocks away. Not being familiar with the
logic of Chelm, Moshe was incredulous. “If you didn’t lose it here, then why
are you searching here?”
“Simple”, said Chaim, surprised at his friend’s denseness,
“the street where I lost it is dark, while here there’s a light!”
