רבה בב"ח הוה קאזל בשיירתא אכל ואשתלי ולא בריך אמר היכי אעביד אי אמינא להו אנשאי לברך אמרי לי בריך כל היכא דמברכת לרחמנא מברכת מוטב דאמינא להו אנשאי יונה דדהבא אמר להו אנטרו לי דאנשאי יונה דדהבא אזיל ובריך ואשכח יונה דדהבא

Rabbah b. Bar Hannah was journeying with a caravan ; he ate but forgot to say Grace. He said [to himself], "How shall I act ? If I tell them I have forgotten to say Grace, they will answer, 'Say it now ; for wherever thou utterest a benediction it is to the All-merciful thou dost utter it.' It is better that I tell them I have lost a golden dove." He said to them, "Wait for me, because I have lost a golden dove." He went back, said Grace and found a golden dove. Why exactly a dove ? Because the Community of Israel is likened to a dove ; for it is written,

Tosefta Beitzah (Lieberman)

Coal is judged according to the feet of the owner, but the flame can be taken anywhere. Five things were said about the charcoal: one can commit the sin of embezzlement with charcoal from consecrated material, but regarding its flame - one can neither benefit nor commit the sin of embezzlement with it. Coal from idolatry is forbidden, but its flame is permitted. If one brings coal into public domain he is guilty, but if he brings the flame there he is free. If a man is forbidden by a vow to take benefit from another, his coal is forbidden to him, but he is permitted with his flame. One say a benediction over the flame, but one does not say a benediction over the coal.
