According
to Ashkenazi Jewish folklore, Chelm is a town inhabited entirely by fools. For
example,
A Jewish Chelm resident bought a fish on Friday in order to cook it for sabbath. He put the live fish underneath his coat and the fish slapped his face with its tail. The man went to the Chelm court to submit a charge and the court sentenced the fish to death by drowning.
