- Synopsis
- Long ago, there lived a poor. man named Joseph. All week long he worked hard so he could buy only the finest things for the Sabbath, the seventh day of the week. Season after season, Joseph worked hard for Sorab, a greedy and selfish farmer who scoffed at Joseph's love for the Sabbath. Sorab would never pay Joseph more, no matter how hard he worked. Then, one night, Sorab had a bad dream that all he owned would soon be Joseph's. What the dream did not foretell was an adventure of storms at sea, recovered treasure, a ad a home newly filled with joy. Marilyn Hirsh's energetic retelling of a Jewish folktale has its source in the Talmud, but contains many elements common to traditional world folklore. Vibrant illustrations by Devis Grebu, with a touch of humor, make this a story for all ages end all cultures. Ages 3-8
