### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A thorny bush. In Jotham's story it is the worthless tree that agrees to become king. Interpretation: Jotham's fable warns against crowning a cruel, worthless ruler. Thorns in Isaiah show a land left empty and wild. In the primary lessons: In nature lessons brambles grow in hedges, woods and wasteland; their flowers feed bees and their berries feed birds, and their thorny tangles give small animals a safe hiding place. In stories, brambles block paths and scratch heroes (the thorny hedge around Sleeping Beauty's castle). Phrases: «a bramble bush», «caught in the brambles», «bramble jelly».
