David and Betty Goldstein were backpacking around Israel for the summer. One day they went for a hike and started getting hungry and spotted a small restaurant on the side of the road.

Betty noticed a blackboard with a sign written in yellow chalk, “Today’s Special: Vegetable Soup with Chicken Schnitzel and Grilled Vegetables.”

“I’ll take the special,” said Betty to the waiter when he came to take her order.

“Me too,” added David.

A few minutes after receiving their order David called over the waiter, fuming. “IS THIS THE SPECIAL!? It says vegetable soup, BUT THERE ARE NO VEGETABLES! It says grilled vegetables, BUT THEY AREN’T GRILLED THEY ARE BAKED!? And it says chicken schnitzel, BUT THESE ARE MEATBALLS!

The waiter was totally unmoved by David’s outburst and looked down and David and said, “Chabibi, you are absolutely right. That is what makes it so special!”
