A Jewish mother and her son are at the beach, but the boy strays out too far and sinks beneath the waves.
"Lord," she cries, "all my life I've been to the synagogue, why do you do this to me?"
No answer.
"Lord, please give my son back - why me, when I've obeyed all your commandments?"
Silence, then a blinding light and a voice from the heavens saying, "Very well, you have been faithful to me, so here is your son," and there he was, standing and shivering in front of her.
And the mother immediately looks up and raises her arms to the heavens. "Lord," she says, "he had a hat."
