A wealthy merchant, Feivel learns about the meaning of Hanukkah only after he condemns a small brood of hungry children for begging.
"""In a charming story from the oral tradition, a rich man begrudges three hungry children the good smells emanating from his kitchen window, and insists that they should pay for them. The kindly town rabbi comes up with a solution that is completely fair but that also teaches the miserly merchant a valuable lesson.""-The Horn Book"
