Online Children's Magazine from India
The residents of the Jewish town of Chelm, one day, decided that there was no point in all of them worrying about their various problems.
" Let us appoint a Worry Man, somebody who will worry for all of us," said the mayor.
Everybody hailed it as a great idea and when one of the elders suggested that Yossel, the cobbler, who seemed to have a lot of time on his hands, should be given the job, the man was at once sent for.
"How much will I be paid," asked Yossel, suspiciously, after the nature of the job was explained to him.
"Er... one kopek a week," said the mayor.
"It won't work."
"Why not?"
"Because if you give me one kopek a week," explained the cobbler, "I'll have nothing to worry about."
Dimdima is the Sanskrit word for ‘drumbeat’. In olden days, victory in battle was heralded by the beat of drums or any important news to be conveyed to the people used to be accompanied with drumbeats.
