On ערב שבת, a notice was posted on the door of a בית מדרש announcing that that the שבת דרשה would be given by a guest speaker. Shortly thereafter, the paper was ripped off the door by a man who did not like the דרשן. The next day, the דרשן got up on the בימה and said: “I once went to the butcher and bought tongue. He wrapped the tongue in paper and I took it with me. On my way, however, a wild dog pounced and grabbed it from me. But I had the last laugh. The dog only got the paper, I still had the tongue. And as long as I have my tongue, I’m going to put it to use.”
