LEFT/RIGHT CHANUKAH STORY
|
Chanukah was almost here and Ema (Mother) Wrightstein
was just about finished decorating her home.
Abba (Father) Wrightstein and Moishe Wrightstein just finished polishing
the menorahs.
"There is not much left to be done!" said Abba Wrightstein as he came
into the kitchen.
"Did you hang the dreidels where I told you to?" asked Ema Wrightstein.
"I left them right where you told me," said Abba Wrightstein.
"I hope we have enough candles to last eight nights. I barely have any
candles left," exclaimed Moishe Wrightstein.
The phone rang and Hannah Wrightstein answered it.
She came running right back into the kitchen exclaiming, "Aunt Vivian
told us she left some potatoes for us on Bubbie's porch! I'll go right
there and get them," she said as she left the house.
After Hannah Wrightstein returned, Ema Wrightstein, Abba Wrightstein,
and Moishe Wrightstein began to peel the potatoes for latkes.
The entire Wrightstein family sang Chanukah songs as they finished
preparing potatoes. The potato peelings were left in the sink.
Then they left all of the latkes sizzling in the pan, hoping they had
chosen the right potatoes for the day.
Now I hope you have the right present for yourself, because that's all
that is left of our story--except to say Happy Chanukah! Isn't that
right?
