The Passover Story as told by Ari

Once upon a time in a land called Egypt there was a mean king named Pharaoh. He was yelling at the Jewish people, “You have to work harder!”.

Then the Jewish people said “We’re too tired!”

And Pharaoh said, “You can’t rest, you only have to work hard.” Then Moses came to Pharaoh and knocked so hard on his door and Pharaoh opened the door and Moses said, “Pharaoh, you’re working the Jewish people too hard. We want to go home.”

Then Pharaoh said “No, no no, I will not let them go.”

“Ok, Pharaoh, if you don’t let the Jewish people go, something terrible is gonna happen.”

Pharaoh said, “I don’t believe you, nothing bad’s gonna happen.”

The next morning frogs were jumping on his head and nose and toes and the Jewish people was doing that. So Pharaoh said, “You have to work harder than before!" Then the next morning, hail was coming down and the Jewish people were doing that because he was working them too hard. Then they leaved. And they run so fast and then a lake was in front of them. And Moses knowed what to do – he put the stick in the water and it opened. They run across and Pharaoh was following and it finally closed and they were singing Dayenu. And then they opened their sacks then they saw matzoh and then it was a miracle.

Holey moley! That's pretty damn accurate. Kid tells it better than I do. I reiterate: Ari for President 2040! He's got my vote.

All I learned from this version of the story is that the Jewish people are lazy and use threats and intimidation to get what they want, much like the Mafia.
