Why knocking is dangerous.

Why knocking is dangerous.
It’s midnight in Texas. Everyone in the neighborhood is asleep and dreaming. Suddenly, someone is knocking on the door at the little brown house on the corner. Knock two times with the door knocker. A sleepy man comes to the door in his pajamas carrying an oil lamp. We’ll call him Fred. Fred calls out, “Who is it?” And the person knocking on the door calls back, “It’s Moisha, your friend from Hebrew school. Remember me? I’m on a long trip and need somewhere to spend the night. Please can I stay with you?”

Fred opens the door wide and gives Moisha a great big hug. Then Moisha says, “Got anything to eat? Some nice bread, maybe?” Fred goes to his pantry and finds nothing but crumbs. Oh no! How is he going to feed Moisha? Then Fred remembers that his next door neighbor in the big grey house has the most amazing bread in his pantry ALL THE TIME! He tells Moisha to sit down and the table and runs next door.

Knock three times with the door knocker. Say: “Hershel, wake up! It’s Fred from next door. My friend Moisha is on a trip and needs something to eat, but my bread is all gone. Please can I have three of your loaves?”

But Hershel is snug in his bed. In fact, his whole family is tucked into his bed and if he gets up, they’ll all wake up and the baby will start crying and his wife will be grumpy in the morning. So Hershel says, “No. Go away.”

Did Fred give up? No! Knock four times with the door knocker. Say: “Hershel, please give me some bread.” Wait a short time, then knock five times with the door knocker. Say: “Hershel, please be my friend and give me three loaves. Wait a short time, then knock six times with the door knocker. Say: “Hershel, I really, really need that bread. My friend is tired and hungry and I need to help him because he doesn’t have anywhere else to stay or anyone else to feed him. I REALLY NEED THAT BREAD. PLEEEEASE?”

What do you think happened next? Hershel got up and shot Fred in the face. That’s right, Hershel eventually realized that Fred was not going to stop knocking! So he got out of bed, grabbed his gun, unlocked the door and shot Fred with a smile. Even in the middle of the night, Hershel could see that Fred had a lack of respect for boundaries, and eventually he gave Fred exactly what he needed.

Moisha then proceeded to the next house. Hershel called after her "no ones lives there!"
Moisha knew that if she was persistent help would come. She knocked for days and nights but no one came. She eventually died from dehydration with arthritis in her right arm.
