A long time ago, in a land far away, there was a group of little people that called themselves the Trids. For as long as anyone could remember, the Trids spent their free time tormenting the giant in the forest. Whenever the Trids would torment him, he would kick them away, and they would go flying through the air, landing hundreds of yards away. Sometimes the Trids landed without getting hurt, but all too often, they did. One day the Trids were visited by a friendly, idealistic young Rabbi named Josh Lowenstein. Rabbi Lowenstein told them that they could avoid all of their injuries and suffering if they could just show some kindness to the giant, instead of continually tormenting him. The Trids listened, and decided to give the Rabbis idea a try. The next morning, the Trids went to see the giant, wanting to show him that they had changed for the better. They brought gifts, sang songs to him, and generally just tried to make him feel good. But it seemed that all of their attempts were futile. With each passing moment, the giant got more and more upset at the very presence of the Trids around him. It was not very long until the giant was swinging his huge, smelly feet at the backside of every Trid that he could reach. When the Trids returned to their village, they told Rabbi Lowenstein what happened. We did what you said, but he started kicking us again like he always does. With that, the Rabbi decided to go see the giant for himself, so he immediately set out to see the giant. He walked right up to the giants door, and immediately the giant poked his great big face out of his doorway to see who was there. When he saw Rabbi Lowenstein, he greeted the Rabbi with a great big smile and a handshake and invited him into his house for lunch. The Rabbi and the giant became fast friends, eating, swapping stories, and enjoying each others company. Soon Rabbi Lowenstein wondered why he was getting such nice treatment, so he asked his new friend, almost jokingly, Say giant, why havent you started kicking me yet? The giant laughed loudly and responded Ha! Silly Rabbi! Kicks are for Trids!
