Passage Content
| Akiva: | (to his Students) When I was an ignoramus,
I would say: Who will give me a Torah scholar so that I will bite him like a donkey? |
| Students: | Master, say that you would bite him like a dog! |
| Akiva: | I specifically used that wording, as this one,
a donkey, bites and breaks bones, and that one, a dog, bites but does not break bones. |
