The Law and Special Education
The Bendosa family is so poor that they hardly eat anything but lentil soup. So when a lost little chicken wanders into their front yard, Leora envisions keeping it as a pet and having scrambled eggs for breakfast every morning. Besides, how much work is one little chicken? But, following the dictates of Jewish law that "finders aren't keepers", her mother tells her that they must care for the chicken until its rightful owner returns. An act of goodwill leads to a chaotic house when one little chicken becomes a flock of chickens, then two goats, then a herd of goats! The watercolour illustrations in a charming folk style brings this traditional tale to humorous life.
