A Cute Story Based on the Song From The Haggadah

Every child knows the **Had Gadya Song** at the end of the Seder Meal, about a small little goat dad had bought with two coins (Zuzim).

**This famous song was turned in this book into a cute children's story.** The original version in the Passover Haggadah is more complicated and the original language is difficult, and many kids might not understand what the song is all about.

**The story of Chad Gadya tells the tale about Jewish belief that GOD is the one almighty.** The GOD which took the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt into freedom.

The story begins with **one little goat which dad had bought with two coins...**

What happened when the cat eats the goat, and then the dog bite the cat, and the stick beat the dog, and fire burn the stick, and water extinguish the fire, and the ox which drank the water.. All the way until the 'angel of death'. They all think and feel for a moment they are stronger than all the rest.

The story ends like the song, when GOD himself smote the 'angel of death'. A song and story to praise the LORD for being the one an only almighty.

This story is perfect for Christian children, learning that GOD is above all humans, creatures and elements.
