Chapter 2- TIMKE THE TAILOR

Yosef ran off to the house of Timke the Tailor.
Timkeh's job was to make clothes.
Everyone in the shtetl bought clothes from Timke . He was a very fine tailor--Yes, all the people said so. "Ach, " they would say, " Timke--such a maivin with the needle , he is!

Yosef knocked on Timke's door.
"Who is it?" called out Timke who was inside.

"Timke, Timke, it is me, Yosef . Is that you, Timke?"

"Yes, it's Timke," came the voice from inside.

"Timke, are you at home?" Yosef continued to shout.

"Yosef " Timke called back, " What 's the matter with you? One might think that you are farblondzhet with a brain full of lokshen. "

"OF COURSE I AM HOME IF I AM ANSWERING YOU FROM INSIDE MY HOUSE! Where do you think I am? In the shed with the goat? "
