(3) K-3 Illustrated by Cindy Revell. Yankel tells stories about the people of his village but doesn't realize that he may harm reputations and livelihoods. In this adaptation of an unsourced Jewish folktale, the rabbi teaches the careless boy a lesson: Yankel must put a feather in each doorway and later collect them, a task just as impossible as taking back one's words. The humorous paintings add a playful element.
