*) A man comes to a rabbi complaining that he has a very large family, a very small house, and too little money to get a bigger place. The rabbi promises to help the man, but he has to do exactly as the rabbi says. The man agrees, and the rabbi tells him to go to the market, buy a goat, bring it to the house and come back in two weeks. In two weeks the man comes back complaining bitterly that he cannot bear living in the house anymore and reproaching the rabbi for giving him such a bad advice. In reply, the rabbi tells the man to go back home, get the goat, go to the market, sell the goat and come back in two days. In two days, the man comes back and rabbi asks "How is your house?" "It is not a house" replies the man smiling, "it is a mansion."
