" In this case, the shunra bit the evil kalba. In the original Chad Gadya, the shunra ate the gadya but no one ate the shunra. The shunra was bitten by the kalba."
Let me guess what you said... The cat ate the kid, no one ate the cat, the cat was bitten by the dog?
This is from the traditional Chad Gadya song we sing on Passover...
One pet kid, one pet kid,
Father bid for pet kid
Two zuzim, 'twas so trim,
One pet kid, one pet kid.
Came a cat, fierce and fat
That just did eat pet kid ...
Came a dog [woof!], quite a hog [oink]
which bit the cat ...
Came a stick, big and thick [thump the table]
which beat the dog ...
Came a fire, mounting higher [hand action]
which burnt the stick ...
Came some water which didn't oughta [hand action],
put out the fire ...
Came an ox [mooo] with chicken pox [chook noises]
which drank the water ...
Came the shoykhet mit mir oykhet,
shekhted the ox ...
Came the malakh hamoves who wasn't a novice
and shekhted the shoykhet on mir oykhet ...
Came the most Holy Blessed Be He
of whom we shall make no further mention ...
