A Joke

A very pious Hebrew, devout and observant of all the commandments, goes to the Temple one Sabbath morning, walking the path that separates his house from the place of prayer. After several hours of prayer, while returning to his modest room, seeking to concentrate on the reflection of the sacred texts and the teachings received in the temple, as well as on the questions of the soul and not on all the daily problems that forge the prison of his spirit, destiny surprises him. Suddenly, while walking down the street, he trips over a wallet full of money. There, his delicate financial situation appears: the bills to pay, the hardships he's been through, and his eternal struggle to make ends meet. But it's the Sabbath — the holy day when money cannot be focused on. What should he do then? He decides to ask God for an answer, a guide on how to act in such a terrible situation. He thinks, thinks, thinks... And then, miracle! It's Sabbath all over the world, except in that square meter where he and the wallet are... Thursday!
