Joke: On the Island of Trid

Somewhere, there's an island named Trid. On this island, the Trids were mostly very happy. But on one end of the island, was a very tall mountain. If a Trid ever dared to climb the mountain, he didn't get very far because a giant lived on the mountain and would kick the Trid off his mountain.

One day, a Rabbi visited the island and went exploring. He was nearing the mountain, but a Trid stopped him and said, "You don't want to go up there, a giant lives there and he'll kick you off". The Rabbi thought about it and said, "Maybe I can talk to him".

So the Rabbi started up the mountain, stopping every little while to look around. He saw no sign of the giant. As he reached the top, he stopped again and looked around but didn't see the giant.

Finally, at the top of the mountain, he spied the giant sitting under a tree and the giant turned and saw the Rabbi. The Rabbi said, "Aren't you going to kick me off your mountain?" And the giant replied (you're going to love this)

"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"
