Mr. Abrams called-

Wake up! Wake up! It's time to build the succah.
Debra! Billy! Wake up!

They were napping-Billy and Debra Abrams were, and so was their dog-Matzah Ball Abrams, that chubby dachshund dog. He slept on his back each night in one of the children's beds-snoring loudly!

Debra said to Billy- "It's Succot! At last! Let's get started!"

Matzah Ball was the first one down the steps. He thought they were called to dinner!

Backyard-their father assembled poles and boards and thatched straw for the roof.  And fruit and vegetables and
corn stalks and sugar cane and Indian corn and pumpkins and leaves.  They worked for hours putting it up in their back yard.

Debra asked Billy, "What does it mean?"

When we Jews left Egypt we had no homes.
We lived in booths; we wandered.

• Remember the homeless.
• Think of our bounty-all we have.
• Don't build a life on things, but on spirit and love.

Check the gate? Check the street?

Billy and Debra looked everywhere!

Is he lost? He doesn't know his way home!

He'll miss dinner!

Suddenly he showed up-with the etrog in his mouth!  He ran around the yard as fast as his little midget legs would take him-parading with the etrog!

"Now we can really say thanks to God."

And the whole Abrams family took the etrog with the lulov and sang their prayers to God.
And it turned out to be a perfect Succot!
