The Turnaround： The Clever One and the Simple One, Part 2

What’s said in this shiur

One was very clever, talented, and sophisticated, but the other was simple, not gifted with intellectual prowess or dexterity, but he was wholesome and innocent. So, even though they were opposites, the two boys loved each other very much. And they
