A Hasidic parable concerns a hungry boy traveling with his father through a dense forest. Suddenly the boy spots a patch of ripe berries and begins picking them and eating them. When the hour grows dangerously late, the boy can't bring himself to leave the patch. What could the father do? He loved the boy in spite of his childish behavior. The father says, "I will start out; you may stay a few minutes longer. But to make sure we don't get separated, keep calling, 'Father! Father!' I will answer you. But as soon as my voice begins to fade, come running." Hasidic masters used this parable to teach the need to keep united to God through prayer.
