OK. There's an island just off the coast, inhabitied by some little creatures called Trids. Trids are short and human-like, and pretty nice, in general. The problem is that they have to go to the mainland to get groceries and things, and the only way to do this is by crossing a bridge guarded by a big mean troll. The troll lets the Trids cross to the mainland fine, but every time they're coming back to the island (or anyone crosses in that direction), he kicks them off the bridge. They land in the water, their groceries float away or sink, and it's really quite upsetting for these Trids.

One day, a rabbi comes to visit. Usually, visitors get kicked off the bridge too, but the rabbi crosses with no problem, arriving safe and sound. The Trids are fascinated, and ask the rabbi how he managed to cross safely. He wasn't aware of the problem, so he goes to ask the troll why he's so mean to the poor little Trids.

"Troll, why do you kick the Trids off the bridge, but you didn't kick me?"

The troll responds, "Silly rabbi! Kicks are for Trids!"

haha. I love it. :)
