Parshas Hashavua כי תשא
אך את שבתתי תשמרו
The לקט יושר quotes this
riddle from his Rebbe,
the תרומת הדשן.
"A chicken jumped on an apple tree and apples
fell off the tree.
You may not eat the apples. A few minutes later the chicken laid
an egg. Now you may
eat the apples".
The גמרא* says, animals who mate only in the daytime, give
birth
in the daytime. Chickens mate only in the day, therefore lay
their
eggs only in the day.
Apples that fell off the tree on a Friday afternoon, בין
השמשות
may not be eaten (on Shabbos)
being it is unknown if it fell before or after night
(Shabbos),
If however, the chicken laid an egg after the apples fell.
We then
assume it must have been daytime and the apples may be
eaten on Shabbos.
