A young
woman brings home her fiance to meet her
parents. After dinner, her mother tells
her father to find out about the young
man.
The father invites the fiancee to his
study for a drink. "So what are your
plans?" the father asks the young man.
"I am a Torah scholar." he replies. "A
Torah scholar. Hmmm," the father says.
"admirable, but what will you do to
provide a nice house for my daughter to
live in, as she's accustomed to?" "I
will study," the young man replies, "and
God will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful
engagement ring, such as she deserves?"
asks the father. "I will concentrate on
my studies," the young man replies, "God
will provide for us."
"And children?" asks the father. "How
will you support children?" "Don't
worry, sir, God will provide," replies
the fiance.
The conversation proceeds like this, and
each time the father questions, the
young idealist insists that God will
provide. Later, the mother asks, "How
did it go, Honey?" The father answers,
"He has no job and no plans, but the
good news is he thinks I'm God."
