There was once a group of boys in a sleepaway camp who would not TOLERATE their bunkmate Yossel'e because he was fat and could not run fast or hit a ball. They made fun of him and blamed him for losing every game they played.
On the day of their hiking trip to Pumpernickle mountain the boys decided to run ahead of Yossel'e and scare him when he would finally reach the top of the mountain.
The boys saw a haunted house at the top of Pumpernickel mountain and figured it would be a great place to hide from Yossel'e. Unfortunately there were bank robbers hiding there too! A few hours later when Yossel'e finally reached the top of the mountain he climbed a tree and saw through the window that his bunkmates were in trouble. He quickly called the police and saved all the boys!
The boys realized how wrong they were and apologized to ossel'e. Hashem created each and every one of us for a reason and each person is special and has a mission on this earth. Yossel'e may of been fat but he had a heart of gold and was able to save the boys only because he couldn't run as fast as them. The boys finally acquired the character trait of tolerance. They realized the importance of respecting every person even if their looks, opinions or behaviors are different from our own.
