A Hanukkah story

[(Anonymous)]

When I was a little girl, I read a book about a little boy whose mother gives him their last three coins and sends him out to buy candles for (I think) Hanukkah, but maybe just the Sabbath. One by one, the boy parts with the three coins, giving them to three beggars who each pronounce a blessing on him. (I only remember one: "May three fat maidens with dyed yellow hair dance at your wedding.") He goes home empty-handed, and his mother is furious and tells him he's got so little sense, he'll never grow up to be anything but a droshzky driver. Because of his compassion, he has a heavenly vision of some kind; in later life all the beggars' blessings come true.

The book had bluish illustrations with a sort of Marc Chagall feel. It sounds as if it ought to be by Isaac Bashevis Singer, but as far as I know, it's not.
