Fantástico It was almost Janucá Danielito loved lighting the candles and eating Janucá treats potato latkes and buñuelos fried dough with honey
This year Danielito was old enough to visit his Bobe by himself It was the Christmas season as well as Janucá time In Bobe’s neighborhood piñatas hung from trees Kids played with Mexican tops called trompos
But Danielito didn’t know any of the kids And he did not have a trompo Do you have a trompo Bobe he asked No niño She thought a moment But I have a dreidel She opened a drawer and took out a wooden dreidel She showed him the Hebrew letters nun gimmel hey shin
Danielito didn’t know if anyone would let him play trompo with a dreidel Still he put it in his pocket and went outside
