There were once people known as Trids...

There were once people known as Trids, very similar to the Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

They lived on an island and were constantly terrorized by a mountain ogre, who always marched to their little village and kicked, sometimes killing, many of the Trids.

One day, a Rabbi went to the island as a part of a tour he was in and saw the island's indigenous people being harassed by the mountain ogre.

"Why does he always attack you guys?" the Rabbi said.

"Since we're much shorter than him, he figures he can kick us around with no problem!"

"Well I'm about his height, so I'll go speak to him."

And so he travelled up the island's mountain to meet the ogre. At the top, he saw him.

"Why are you always harassing the Trids?"

"They can't fight back, look at their height!"

"Oh, that's why? In that case, why don't you kick me? I may be your height, but I'm an old man! I can't fight back!"

"Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!"

BONUS JOKE:

On the way back to the ship to continue the tour, the Rabbi approaches the Trids - "I tried to make him stop, it didn't work." He said.

"Oh, that's alright! Have fun with your tour!" One of them replied.

All of a sudden, a bird flying across the sky flew across the rabbi's head, leaving his droppings on the Rabbi's head.

"Do you happen to have any way of washing this off?"

"No! Don't wash it off! That's the droppings of the sacred Foo bird! The Foo's droppings landing on your head indicates good luck and prosperity!"

"The Foo bird, huh? I see."

Wanting to respect their culture, the rabbi waits for the boat to depart before trying to wash the droppings off.

Once on course, he washed his head, trying to get the smell of the Foo out.

As soon as he was successful, the boat, almost like magic, suddenly sank.

He, along with other passengers, sank to their death.

Lesson: If the foo s**t's, wear it.
