I have a pocketknife the size of a credit card that I received as a gift many years ago. I use it daily for countless tasks of cutting, measuring, magnifying glass, and screw tightening. It is small and useful. A week ago, after I used the scissors which are part of the pocketknife, the pocketknife itself simply disappeared, aside from the scissors which remained in my hand. I searched in the car and I searched in the street. I thought perhaps it had fallen outside the car, but I did not find it. A week passed, and I again used the scissors that remained for me from the pocketknife. I requested from Hashem that He provide me the pocketknife so that I should not need to buy a new one...
I had barely finished requesting when the tiny scissors slipped from my hand. I thought to myself that perhaps I had requested improperly, for the scissors slipped into a narrow crevice between the seat and the side wall. Fortunately, I caught sight of the direction in which they had fallen and went behind the seat. I sent my hand to feel, perhaps I would be able to find the scissors, (the car is full of features and there is almost no room to insert a hand). I felt around, and Baruch Hashem, I found the scissors. Except that suddenly I felt something else, and that something else was none other than the pocketknife itself, for which I had searched so much!!!! כ.ה.
