A small band of Trids lived on a peninsula connected to the mainland only by
a narrow strip of land. Each day the Trids would walk across the strip and
get their food and other stuff.

One day, a fearsome Gloglum monster sat right down on that narrow strip
of land. Whenever a Trid tries to get past, the Gloglum monster would boot
him straight back to the Peninsula. Soon, the Trids were on the brink of
starvation.

A rabbi in town heard of their troubles, and decided to bring food to the
Trids. Each day he'd cross the narrow strip of land with provisions and
return, and the Gloglum monster paid him no mind.

Finally, the rabbi asked why he could go back and forth, but the Trids
couldn't. The Gloglum monster laughed, and said, "Silly rabbi! Kicks are for
Trids!"
