Looking for story

[Viviane Lampach <lampach@bxscience.edu>]

A crazy tech coordinator that we owe bigtime is bothering me about a story
that has been bothering him. It is a story about a jewish family living in
a shtetl (village) where  the story goes back and forth good luck and bad
luck. For example "Oy what bad luck, my son broke his leg"  but then "what
good luck, the russian army came into our village to conscript young men
and my son had a broken leg,so he couldn't get drafted.' Does that sound
familiar to anyone. Please advise. TIA.
