Brief Insight
SHAVOR MALKA

The Gemara states that they said over in front of King Shevor the Din of R. Shimon and he praised it. Rashi says this is a reference to King Shevor who was the Persian King. The Maharitz Chiyus asks that it is forbidden to teach words of Torah to a non-Jew. The Maharitz Chiyus answers that it is permitted to teach him Torah with regards to the Sheva Mitzvos Bnei Noach and the Gemara states in Sanhedrin that the Dinim are one f the seven Mitzvos and the Din of R. Shimon is included in Dinim.
Quick Halachah
DISPUTED VEGETABLE

If there are two adjoining gardens and one of them is on higher ground than the other and a vegetable is growing on the incline if the vegetable can be reached from the upper garden and pulled out from its roots without extending himself it belongs to him and if not it belongs to the lower garden. Even if the entire incline can be reached from the upper garden anything that is growing within three Tefachim of the lower garden belongs to the lower garden. If the upper garden can reach the vegetable but can't reach the roots he may not take it but if he takes the vegetable it is not be taken from him. (Shulchan Aruch CM 167:1)
Chakirah
If there are two adjoining gardens and one is on higher ground than the other and a vegetable is growing on the incline between the two gardens R. Shimon says that if the vegetable was within arms reach of the upper garden it belongs to him and if not it belongs to the lower garden. Rashi says that if he can't reach it belongs to the lower garden because he is Mafkir it. Why is the owner of the lower garden Koneh when the Hefker?
