Yechiel was standing over his new son’s crib, staring intently.
He didn’t know that his wife, Perel, was standing in the doorway watching him. She saw a mixture of emotions cross his face: awe, skepticism, admiration and wonder.

“Incredible, isn’t it?” Perel asked gently.
“It sure is,” Yechiel replied. “I never saw a crib built so solidly. But I’m still not sure it was worth five hundred dollars.”
