Note (Local)
:
This story is inspired by a tale in the Talmud (the core collection of rabbinic writings) about Rabbi Chanina ben Dosa, a first-century sage. When he finds a stray hen, Rabbi Chanina cares for it and its chicks until the flock grows too large. Then he sells them in exchange for goats, eventually returning the goats to the original owner (who is surprised to find he now has goats!).
