זבחים מז

A poor חסיד came crying to his רבי.  “I went from town to town for the past few months collecting money for my daughter’s wedding,” he said, “and now I don’t know where I hid it.”  The רבי told him to return to his house and walk around it seven times and to say איזהו after each הקפה.  The following day, the חסיד returned and said “רבי, I followed your instructions, but I still haven’t found the money.”  “Which איזהו did you say?” the רבי asked. “רבי, is there an איזהו other than איזהו מקומן של זבחים?” the חסיד asked. “Yes,” the רבי answered, “There is איזהו שוטה?  המאבד כל שנותנים לו.”
