Puzzling Pieces

[phkrause]

Chaim Yankel from Chelm goes on a trip to America and stays with his cousin Sruli the tailor who lives in Brooklyn. While Sruli goes off to work, Chaim Yankel stays at home. Soon, he decides to do a puzzle so he grabs the puzzle and pours out all the pieces and tries to put it together.

After a while of trying he gets frustrated and calls Sruli.

“Chaim Yankel, what’s wrong?” Sruli asks.

“I’m trying to put this puzzle together,” says Chaim Yankel “But I just can't do it.”

“What puzzle is it?” asks Sruli. “Look at the picture in the front and tell me what it looks like.”

“Okay... well the background is white and there’s a rooster on it.”

“Chaim Yankel,” says Sruli. “Put the cornflakes back in the box.”
