When Zece Sobol was 6 years old, she got pneumonia and measles together. Her grandmother, known to the family as "Little Bubie" sat at Zece's bedside everyday and watched the doctor do his best to save her granddaughter's life. In a few days, Zece pulled through, and Little Bubie said (in Yiddish) to the doctor, "First God, then you saved my daughter." 

The doctor replied, "No, Grandma. First me, THEN God."
