MR. SMITH:  I'll tell you one: "The Snake and the Fox".  Once upon a time, 
  a snake came up to a fox and said:  "It seems to me that I know you!"
  The fox replied to him: "Me too."  "Then," said the snake, "give me some
  money."  "A fox doesn't give money," replied the tricky animal, who, in order
  to escape, jumped down into a deep ravine full of strawberries and chicken
  honey.  But the snake was there waiting for him with a Mephistophelean laugh.
  The fox pulled out his knife, shouting: "I am going to teach you how 
  to live!"  Then he took to flight, turning his back.  But he had no luck.
  The snake was quicker.  With a well-chosen blow of his fist, he struck 
  the fox in the middle of his forehead, which broke into a housand pieces,
  while he cried: "No! No! Four times no! I'm not your daughter."

MRS. MARTIN:  It's interesting.

MRS. SMITH:  It's not bad.

MR. MARTIN [shaking Mr. Smith's hand]:  My congratulations.

FIRE CHIEF [jealous]:  Not so good.  And anyway, I've heard it before.

MR. SMITH:  It's terrible.

MRS. SMITH:  But it wasn't even true.

MRS. MARTIN:  Yes, unfortunately.

MR.  MARTIN: [to Mrs. Smith]:  It's your turn, dear lady.
