There was once wealthy baal habos kamtzan who used to ask every meshulach a riddle. “If you can tell me a word in the Torah with four straight Kometzs, I’ll give you a generous nedava.” Naturally, most people could not answer, and went away empty-handed and disappointed.
One talmid chacham successfully answered, “Harachama” (one of the non kosher birds).
The Baal Habos reluctantly reached into his pocket, and said, “Do me a favor, halt es bai dir, I don’t want my secret to get out!”
So the Talmid Chacham says, “So how about you answer mine! Where is there a word with four straight patachs?”
The Baal Habos thinks about it then says, “I give up. What is it?”
The talmid chacham answers, “Hakadachas. And do me a favor, halt es bai dir!”
