NOT BEING AWARE OF HIS RISE IN THE WORLD THE PEASANT CALLED TO HIM, 'BAER, WHAT'S NEW WITH YOU?'  'AND WHAT'S NEW WITH YOU?' ASKED THE RABBI.  'WELL,' ANSWERED THE OTHER, 'I SHALL TELL YOU. WHAT YOU DON'T GET BY YOUR OWN WORK, YOU DON'T HAVE.' FROM THAT TIME ON, WHENEVER RABBI BAER SPOKE OF THE PROPER WAY TO CONDUCT ONE'S LIFE, HE ADDED, 'AND THE OLD MAN OF OLESHNYA SAID: "WHAT YOU DON'T GET BY YOUR OWN WORK, YOU DON'T HAVE."'
