"I have decided not to continue my wanderings," said the maggid. "I will settle in this town."
The rav was startled. "How can you expect to earn a living here, when the townspeople pay their rav so little? How could there be enough for both of us?"
The maggid said, "Let me tell you a story. There was once a farmer who kept a goose in a coop. The farmer often forgot to feed it, so the goose suffered from hunger.
"One day, the farmer bought a rooster and put it in the same coop. The goose said, 'I will starve! It's not possible for two of us to live on the small amount of food I get!'
"The rooster replied, 'Don't worry. When I'm hungry, I can crow. This will remind the farmer. Then we'll both be fed!'"
How often do we mistaken ally as enemy of competing threat to be eliminated?
There is actually more than enough for everyone. Abundance is all there is.
