[In a lowered voice]. And we all contributed toward a little gift. Mrs. Rabinowitz, will you present this to the Cantor with our best wishes for his continued happiness, peace, prosperity, longevity and the consistent and increasing use of his magnificent vocal cords! [Hands a package to Sara.]

Amen, amen, amen, amen!
Sara
[Rises, takes package]. Thank you, Clarence. The present I’ll give him, but all them words I can never say.... I don’t like to open the bundle, Clarence. Tell me, what is the present?
Clarence
I’ll show you, Mrs. Rabinowitz. [Takes package, opens it on the table.] According to our financial status, this is the most appropriate symbol of our esteem I could find. There you are! [It is a praying shawl!]
Sara
A praying shawl!
