Chacham gives the farmer a segulah and wishes him well. A week passed and the chickens are still dying. The farmer goes back to Chacham complaining about the segulah not working. Chacham gives the farmer a different segulah. The same shpiel repeats itself weekly, the chickens continue dying, farmer going back to Chacham and Chacham giving a new segulah. After two months pass and eight different segulas failed, the farmer is back and pleads to Chacham for help. Chacham says to the farmer "listen, I still have more segulas - do you still have chickens?"

We just loooove segulos, especially if parnassa related, where the mystic meets the money. I recall this day in yeshiva, after the morning prayers. The entire hall sat down to chant away the text with targum. The broken Aramaic, the intonations, the pitch, the frequency modulations of the trop. It sounded like a bunch of amateurs plucking guitars. How wonderful. We just loooove segulos, especially if parnassa related, where the mystic meets the money.
