Rabbi Levy arrives at his shul's weekly children's service. This is when he gathers all the little children around him and gives them a brief Talmud lesson before dismissing them. He never misses an opportunity to give them a suitable message.
On this particular shabbes, he decides to use squirrels for an object lesson on teaching them the need for industry and preparation. So he starts out by saying to the children, "Im now going to describe something to you and I want you to raise your hand when you know what it is."
The children nod eagerly.
"This thing runs around in trees (pause)... and eats nuts (pause)... "
No hands go up.
"And it's grey or brown (pause)... and it has a bushy tail (pause)... "
The children look at each other, but still no hands are raised.
"And it takes big jumps from one branch to another (pause)... and it chatters and flips its tail when its excited (pause)... "
Finally, little Sam tentatively raises his hand. Rabbi Levy breathes a sigh of relief and says, "Good, Sam, so what do you think it is?"
"Well, rabbi," says little Sam, "I know the answer must be Moses... but it sounds just like a squirrel to me!"
