Got a Light?

There was once a chasid who was traveling on a wagon together with the holy Rebbe of Shinyiva, and the wind was blowing strongly. The Rebbe asked the chasid to light his pipe for him because he wanted to smoke . The chasid tried lighting it but the wind kept on blowing out the matches, (imagine trying light a cigarette while riding a motorcycle.) Then the Shinyiver told the following story.

One Leil Shabbos in home the holy Rebbe Reb Mendle Riminover the candles were already lit but the windows were kept open because of the extreme heat. Suddenly it seemed that wind was going to blow out the Shabbos candles. So the Rebbe Reb Mendle went over to the window and said, "Ribono Shel Olam, I need lights for Shabbos Kodesh." And the wind stopped entering the window while continuing to blow outside. Went the Shinyiver finished the story he told him, "Now light he pipe." And he then successfully lit it with one match.

The Rebbe then said that it was not a miracle, its just that the tales about the righteous have the power to bring about things similar to the occurrences in the that were told about.
