"one day
when the prophet Elijah
was standing in the marketplace
a friend came up to him and asked"

"is there anyone in the multitude
who will have a share in the world to come?"

Elijah looked about him
and with a sigh he answered,
"No"

Then he looked about again
and he pointed to two men
who had just entered the marketplace
and were making their way through the crowds.

"Those two men will have a share in the world to come."

"What is their occupation
and what have they done to deserve it?"
asked Elijah's friend.

"They are Clowns"
Elijah replied,
"and when they see people troubled in mind
or heavy with sorrow,
they make them laugh,
and when they see people who quarrel,
they make peace between them."
