MIME-Version: 1.0 reply-type=original Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit As far as I know it is a Jewish folktale from Eastern Europe. A sweet version is by Phoebe Gilman, published by Ashton Scholastic. She uses the repeating refrain, "there was just enough material to make a ........" . When even the button goes missing, she ends with " and there was just enough material to make a STORY." Rather nice.
