Tevye the Dairyman And the Railroad Stories
“I haven’t seen you in a dog’s age. My oh my, the water that’s flowed under the bridge since we last met! What you and I and Jews everywhere haven’t been through these past years: pogroms in Kishinev, riots, troubles, the new Constantution—dear Lord, it doesn’t stop … Don’t take it wrong, but I’m surprised to see you haven’t changed a bit, there’s still not a gray hair on you! I only wish you could say the same of me. Harey ani keven shivim shonoh—I haven’t even turned sixty, and just look how o...ld and gray I am. It’s no laughing matter what we go through with our children, and who has less to laugh about than me? The latest nightmare with my daughter Shprintze is worse than anything that came before—yet here I am, still alive and kicking, as if nothing had happened at all. Be’al korkhekho atoh khai—how does that little song go?
What do I care if the weather is sunnyWhen I’m all out of luck and all out of money … In a word, rotsoh hakodoysh borukh hu lezakoys—God wanted to do us Jews a favor and so He sent us a new catastrophe, a Constantution.MoreLess
