ONLY A VISITOR HERE

The story is told of an American tourist who paid the 19th century Polish rabbi Hofetz Chaim a visit. Astonished to see that the rabbi's home was only a simple room with a few books, a table and a bench, the tourist asked, "Rabbi, where is your furniture?"

"Where is yours?" replied the rabbi.

"Mine?" asked the puzzled tourist. "But I'm only a visitor here. I'm only passing through."

Then Hofetz Chaim said, "So am I".
