David and Sarah Emanuel went to visit a Rebbe known for his powerful blessings.
“Rebbe,” David said. “We really want children and the doctor just told us we might not be able to have any. What should we do?”
The Rebbe gave them some money and told them to find a certain poor widow and give it to her. “In the merit of the mitzvah of tzedakah, Hashem will bless you with children”
Ten years later David ran into the Rebbe on the street. David had about twelve kids in tow.
"Baruch Hashem!" the Rebbe cried out. "But tell me, where's your wife?"
"Oh, she’s trying to find the widow. She wants to ask for the money back.”
