[Cz-L] The crooked Mogen David legend.

http://pics.livejournal.com/whasup/pic/00zw9qyk

  On a night as dark as pitch , three shadows entered the jewish cemetery.
   One carried a ladder, another a crowbar the third a hacksaw.
     They came to the cemetery ceremonial hall and swiftly climbed to the
roof.
     They came to steal the legendary golden Mogen David of the Jews.
       They climbed to the top of the cupola and started to bend the
        Star of David for easier cutting.
         Suddenly there was a rumble from the skies and a lightning
pierced the skies and struck the ladder.

      Awestricken , the hooded robbers fled the field.
   Since then Mogen David , made of brass , stayed crooked
    for all to see and wonder.
