A few days later Queen Beta and Princess Mireleh were shmoozing about this and that. Soon they were talking about tateh and the Purim party.
" Nu, Mireleh," Queen Beta said to her daughter.
" Your tateh may sometimes be a shlemeil. And, yes, now and then he is a shlemozel. But he is still a guten neshoma, and always means well and tries hard. He works hard to be a good king. You see, Mireleh,sometimes people are shlemeils because they have other very important things on their mind. Your tateh is always thinking about ways to help the people in our kingdom. So sometimes he doesn't look where he is going. "
"Yes Mama, I understand, " Mireleh said smiling at her mother. " And he was the best part of the Purim party. Let's not forget that!
" You know, Mireleh, we should always remember something else..."
