In spite of the helpful footnotes, this book feels as if it is best studied with a teacher who can explain what the Rabbis are really getting at. I learned from the book, but would learn more from a person.

(Ps.XXXVII, 20), which are fattened not for their own benefit but for the slaughter. So the wicked Haman was raised to greatness only to make his fall greater. It was like the case of a man who had a sow, a she-ass, and a filly, and he let the sow eat as much as it wanted but strictly rationed the ass and the filly. Said the filly to the ass: 'What is this lunatic doing? To me who do the work of the master he gives food by measure, but to the sow which does nothing he gives as much as she wants.' The ass answered: 'The hour will come when you will see her downfall, for they are feeding her up not out of respect for her but to her own hurt." When the Calends came round, they took the sow and stuck it. When afterwards they set barley before the filly, it began sniffing at it instead of eating. The mother then said to it: 'My daughter, it is not the eating which leads to slaughter but the idleness.'
