Chad Gadya

There was a goat my father bought for two zuzim

Chad gadya, chad gadya!

Then came the cat that bit the goat

My father bought for two zuzim

Chad gadya, chad gadya!

Then came the cat that ate the goat…

Then came the dog that bit the cat…

Then came the stick that WAS CHASED BY* the dog…

Then came the fire that burnt the stick…

Then came the water that quenched the fire…

Then came the ox that drank the water…

Then came the butcher that slaughtered the ox…

Then came the Angel of Death that killed the butcher…

Then came the Holy One, Blessed Be He, who slew the Angel of Death…
