Interesting Interpretation

The Rabbi was carefully explaining the story of Elijah the Prophet and the false prophets of Baal. He explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it, cut the steer in pieces and laid it upon the altar.
And then Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water and pour it over the altar. He had them do this four times.
"Now, said the Rabbi, "can anyone in the class tell me why the L--D would have Elijah pour water over the steer on the altar?"
A little girl raised her hand with great enthusiasm and said "To make the gravy?"
