Little Jacob is always being teased by the other neighborhood boys for being stupid jew. Their favorite joke is to offer Jacob his choice between a nickel and a dime – Little Jacob always takes the nickel. One day, after Jacob takes the nickel, a neighbor man takes him aside and says, “Jacob, those boys are making fun of you. Don’t you know that a dime is worth more than a nickel, even though the nickel’s bigger?” Jacob grins and says, “Well, if I took the dime, they’d stop doing it, and so far I’ve made $20!”
