This three-wishes tale speaks with a Yiddish accent. When Koppel the junkman finds an old meat-grinder, he is astonished that it will grant him three wishes. Although the wishes are wasted, the couple realizes they are lucky to have each other (and a delicious kishka). The text is wordy and the caricature illustrations go over the top, but there's some in-the-know humor. Glos.
