A Good Way With Words.....
Ira and Esther Goldberg had a large family of seven healthy children.
They moved to America from Europe and were having a difficult time
finding an apartment to live in.
Many apartments were large enough, but the landlords objected to such
a large family.
After several days of unsuccessful searching, Ira asked Esther to take
the four younger children to visit the cemetery, while he took the
older three to find an apartment.
After they had looked most of the morning, they found a place that
was just right.
The landlord asked the usual question: "How many children do you have?"
Ira answered with a deep sigh, "Seven...but four are with their
dear mother in the cemetery."
He got the apartment!
