Isn't it a beautiful evening, Sheep?

I mean, don't you just love it when there's a breeze,

and the sun is just about to touch the mountains?

Quiet, my stories are on.

shalom, Mr. Horse. May I help you?

I would like a bowl of your finest hay.

Coming right up, sir.

Oh, good. I'm so hungry, I could eat a me.

You'll be the last customer today.

Once the sun sets, we can't do any more cooking.

No? Well, at least I can make a fire if I get cold later.

Nope. If you haven't started a fire before sundown, you can't make one at all.

Do I hear someone playing Shabbat?

Nope, I just found another stick for my collection.

He wasn't talking about you.

He just said "someone." How should I know?

I was just teaching Mr. Horse about what happens tonight.

But he's got a lot of questions, and I don't have any good answers.

Reminds me of our relationship.

Wait, hold up.

Our relationship? So who's Mr. Horse?

Why aren't we allowed to do so many things on Shabbat?

We'll tell you all about it.

Just know that Shabbat isn't until tomorrow.

And it's a good thing,

because I have a million things to get from the market before we even--

Shabbat shalom.

- I can find the grapes and melon... - I'll get the olives, olive oil, meat...

- You know you can just walk, right? - Just observing Shabbat.

What can I help with?

- Go with Eema for meat. Huh? - Go with Abba for grapes. Huh?

And if the butcher is out of beef, we can always have lamb chops.

Hey. I'll go with you, Eema.

To make sure we don't buy any of Sheep's friends.

Why would my friends be at this market?

Most of them don't even live near this one.

We're not really going to eat lamb chops, are we?

Your Abba was kidding.

He's just stressed out because the sun is setting soon and we're barely done.

Oh, no, does Shabbat start tonight?

Tell you what, when we get home with our ingredients,

I'll make your favorite.

Fresh bread with honey? Yeah!

- I thought I was her favorite. - Mm-mm.

No, you don't wanna be that kind of favorite.

That's what chops are.

- I don't get it. - And that's why you're Mr. Horse.

All right, I've got grapes, melons, I'm two for three.

Excuse me. Uh, what do you have left?

- Well, do you like bread from Egypt? - Sure.

Then you'll have to go to Egypt.

Look at your face.

That's funny, because I'm all out.

I hope the girls are having better luck than me.

- Nope, we're out of fish. - Beef?

- We're out. - Chicken?

We're out of everything.

What are the odds?

Five minutes before Shabbat? Not great.

Well, I guess we don't get to try out those chops.

- They didn't have meat. - They didn't have bread.

So we have no bread at all?

No.

- Not even some old emergency bread? - I don't even know what that is.

Why do we do this?

Wait, if we made a fire right now, could you bake some bread?

- Uh... - Hmm.

We still have time, right?

I mean, I would still have to mix the dough.

Then let's go!

Wait up.

Abby, we can't even start a fire. I haven't gathered wood yet.

Sheep's been gathering wood for us.

Hmm?

Thanks, Sheep, you're the biggest help ever.

Hey! My stick collection.

My bad, did those mean something to you?

Yeah, they meant that I was going to put them all

on Eli's side of the bed as a hilarious joke.

That doesn't seem very funny.

That's because you're looking at it from his perspective, okay?

Fresh bread with honey, here we come.

We won't have time for that, but at least this will keep us warm.

Just know that our time is almost...

Up.

Can I get my sticks back?

- Oh, why do we do this? - I know how you're feeling, Abby.

When I was your age,

I used to think that Shabbat meant that I couldn't do anything.

In fact, one time I started a fire after my family had gone to sleep

- and I burned my Abba's bed. - Really?

Ooh, that's an even better joke.

After that, I realized that the rules of Shabbat aren't there to limit us.

They're meant to give us a chance to focus on what really matters,

like spending time with family and with God.

Come, come. Come sit down. Let's play a guessing game.

I'm guessing no dinner tonight. Do I win?

All right.

God created the Earth in six days.

On the first day, there was...

Fire?

Oh, light.

Which we don't have.

- And on the second day, God created... - Pain?

Clouds?

- Uh, sky? - Sky, that's it.

On the third day, there was...

- Water? Oh, the ocean. - Mm-hmm.

- Land. - And?

Thievery? Was that the new creation?

- And plants. - Yes, that's right.

Now, on the fourth day...

The sun and moon.

And on the fifth day...

Bony fish?

- No, birds and fish. - Oh.

On the sixth day?

- Me? - Land animals.

And land people.

And on the seventh day, God rested. He asks us to do the same.

Hmm. Today didn't seem very restful.

All right, I'm going to make dinner.

I'll figure something out without bread or meat.

Hardly any food? Reminds me of when we were just married.

I think we survived off of corn and dates that whole first year.

Remember this?

Did you see that? That was incredible.

Wow. I never thought I'd respect that guy.

I'll be right back.

How did you do that?

Well, when you don't have a lot to eat, you get creative with what you do have.

- Ooh! Can I help with dinner? - Of course.

I never knew that about you and Abba.

The thing with the dates? That took a lot of practice.

But it's a choking hazard, so I don't want you to try it.

No, that you were poor.

Well, we're still not exactly rich, but things used to be harder.

It'll likely be the same when you get married one day.

- Wait. I'm going to get married? - But you'll work through it...

Oh, not for a long time.

Hey, I had an idea for...

- Everything okay? - Yes.

We just had a reminder to enjoy the present.

Eli's going to enjoy my present of sticks.

Speaking of that, I have a great idea for where we can eat dinner.

Having a fire in our home keeps us warm,

but the light also keeps our eyes from being sensitive to the night sky.

- Okay, professor. - He's going somewhere good with this.

I already understand.

So, what he talking about? Since you already understand.

He means that if your fire has eyes, the stars will be sensitive.

In other words, without a bright fire to blind you,

you can see so many more stars.

I use that one to get home at night on the boat.

Those stars look like a one-legged donkey.

Come here, Sheep. Sheep.

Come, come. Here, Sheepy, Sheepy.

I understood "come here." You don't have to do the clicks.

Come.

That's better, mostly.

I hope that's olive dip on my stomach.

I've never seen the sky look like this before.

And just think,

we probably wouldn't have seen this tonight if we had not honored Shabbat.

So this is why we do this.
