A visionary Rabbi rose to be the leader of the Trids. And he led his people forth unto the desert, at the edge of the mountains, where they went to toil and make the land fruitful.

But as they plowed and furrowed the land, a giant came down from the mountains and assailed them, delivering terrible kicks with his huge feet, driving them away from their fields and their labors. Afraid and suffering, the Trids went to the Rabbi and said “Something must be done!”

So the Rabbi went into mountains, and soon found the cave wherein the giant dwelt. Being a man of God and diplomacy, the Rabbi entered the cave and called out to the giant saying “Oh giant, I am the Rabbi of the people who dwell below you in the desert. And I have come to plead for you not to assault them at their labors.”

The giant scowled at the Rabbi and said “I like to kick Trids.”

The Rabbi frowned and said “Surly, there is some way that we can live in peace and harmony with you. We wish no harm to you, or trespass, we simply wish to make the desert flower and grow our crops.”

But the giant scowled and said “I like to kick Trids.”

At last loosing his patience the Rabbi shouted at the giant “You big bully! If you like kicking people so much, why do you not kick me!?”

The giant smiled at the Rabbi and said “Silly Rabbi, kicks are for Trids!”
