A Jew and a neighboring גוי always got along until one day the גוי went into the woods, cut down a tree, carved a cross with a figure on it, and placed it in his front yard. From then on, the relationship became very frosty. “What have I done to arouse your anger?” the Jew asked. The גוי responded: “You refuse to show respect to my god. You don’t remove your cap when you pass him by.” The Jew replied: “I remember him when he was just a piece of wood.”
