[THE JEWS AND THEIR FRIENDS]
Once upon a time, in a certain country, lived some Jews. They were ordinary Jews, fit for pogroms, for being slandered, or any other state requirements.
For example.
Whenever the native population began to show signs of being dissatisfied with life, the authorities removed certain clauses from the state regulations and sounded the following hope-awakening call:
"Draw near, you people; approach the seat of power."
The people drew near; and the authorities began to remonstrate with them:
"What is the cause of the agitation?"
"Your Honours, we have nothing to eat."
