The message of the Holy Scripture

A wise man came to a village and sat down by a water fountain at the square, and many people gathered around him to ask him questions. A young man, one of the local jokers, thought he would pull a trick on the wise man, and said to him: "I will follow the path of G-d, if G-d can make me stand on one leg here at the square and recite the message of the Holy Scripture."
Some people laught and some people was disturbed by this young man's disrespctful behaviour, but the wise man said to him. "Where do you live, young man?" "I live in the house next to the blacksmith" the joker replied, a bit confused.
"Good" said the wise man. "Now go home and sleep, and meet me here tomorrow."
The same night, the wise man picked up a piece of charcoal from the blacksmiths garden and sneaked in to the jokers house. Then he went back to the square and rested for a while.
The next day the square was filled with people, since everyone had heard the news about the joker and his challange of the wise man. After a while, the joker showed up.
"So, old man" he said and laughed. "Let us see the mighty of your G-d. Can your G-d make me stand on one leg and recite the message of the Holy Scripture? If so, I will follow the path of your G-d"
The wise man scratched his beard and said: "Take of you left shoe, young man." The young man took of his left shoe. "Now read me what it says on the sole of your foot." The young man looked under his left foot, and with charcoal it was written the word for LOVE". The joker looked at the wise man and said "Love".
"That is the message of the Holy Scripture" the wise man said. The rest is just commentaries. Now begin following the path of G-d, by reading those commentaries."
