This story sounds wonderful, and I would love to know its source once
you track it down. I am only familiar with a humorous version where
Joha leaves a nail in the wall to claim sentimental property rights
in a house so the trickster can continue to visit once the house has
been sold: Joha's
Does anyone know of a resource in which I can locate the Lashon hara
story: where a man hammers a nail in the wall to show that it will
always leave a mark like words cannot be taken away.
