For Passover (another i couldnt resist)
04/19/1997
>Here is a tale for Passover:
>
>Max Goldberg emigrated to London after the war, and worked hard amassing a
>huge fortune. He used this fortune for many charities and was known for
>his
>good works. To honor him, he received a notice that the Queen of England
>was
>going to give him a Knighthood. The thought of being presented to the
>Queen
>of England and receiving a Knighthood made him very nervous, so he went to
>his friend, Sir Solomon Steinberg.
>
>"Sol", he asked, "what happens when you receive a Knighthood, I am very
>nervous about this honor?"
>
>Sol smiled, "Max, don't worry, there will be a number of people receiving
>this honor, and you will one of a long line. The Queen will come down the
>line and gently tap each person on their head with a ceremonial sword and
>call their new name, and that is all."
>
>"But Sol, what will I say to the Queen?" asked Max
>
>"Again, don't worry Max, say whatever you want, they are so busy with all
>the
>people, that it really doesn't matter, they don't even listen".
>
>Finally, the day came, and there was Max on his knees towards the end of a
>long line of people. Slowly, the Queen of England came to each person,
>working her way down the line. Soon, the Queen and Prince Phillip stood
>in
>front of Max. She took the ceremonial sword and lightly tapped him on his
>head and said "I dub thee Sir Max Goldberg. Rise Sir Max."
>
>Max stood up and with his knees wobbling with nervousness, he began to
>thank
>the Queen in Yiddish. The Queen turned to Prince Phillip and asked, "Why
>is
>this Knight different from all the other Knights?"
