For many centuries, the Jewish people of Europe lived in small market towns called shetls. Most of these towns were in an area of Eastern Europe known as "the Pale of Settlement."
Many Eastern European Jews were annihilated during World War II and so the shetls are no more. But the rich culture of these communities has survived.
This story is a revision of a traditional tale which has wisdom and humor , an important element of the Jewish literary heritage. The story is published as a picture book called, It Could Always be Worse.
