He is goaded into marrying the harlot Elka, who bears him six illegitimate children who always catch the evil eye, forcing him to retrieve abracadabras for them.
He is goaded into marrying the harlot Elka, who bears him six illegitimate children who always catch the evil eye, forcing him to retrieve abracadabras for them. When he catches Elka sleeping with another man, his conclusion that he imagined the sight is backed up by an obscure passage of Maimonides. After Elka dies, he is visited by the Spirit of Evil, who convinces him to pour urine into the bread dough at his bakery to revenge himself on the people of Frampol, who delight in getting him to believe whatever he is told. For ten points, name this title character of an Isaac Bashevis Singer short story, a so-called fool who believes that everything is possible.
