He knows the answer

The Rabbi's students asked him: "Rebbe, please, help us. The Talmud teaches us to thank God both and equally for the bad days as for the good. How can that be done?"

The Rabbi thought for a moment and then answered: "Go and see Rabbi Zusya. He knows the answer…"

So they went to see Rabbi Zusya and found him in the poorest quarter of the town. When they entered his scrubby home, they found him sitting at an empty table, near a tiny window, studying. He greeted them warmly, offered bred and water, but his guest refused and replied:

"Thank you very much. But we're here just to ask you one question. Our Rabbi sent us and so we ask: How come we are to thank God equally for the bad days and the good?"

Rabbi Zusya smiled: "The Rabbi sent you to me? But why me? Listen: there's never been a single bad day in all my life. Each and every day has been a miracle!"
