{VOICE} 01
A cheerful, playful laughter echoes over the intercom. It sounds happy, perhaps, too happy, to be in this sort of situation. Finally the laughter dies out and is followed by the sound of two dull thuds, as if someone were placing his feet on a table.
I figured since I could, I'd tell you all a story. A real old fashioned fable!
The voice clears its throat and begins.
A Fox who had never seen a lion in his life, met one of the greatest size. In his terror and surprise, he thought that his last hour had come. At the second meeting, he was still somewhat alarmed, but less so than at first. At the third sight of the Lion, he felt no fear at all, but walked up to the Lion and began to converse with him.
By force of habit we become enabled to confront, unmoved, things the most terrible and dangerous.
There's a long pause, and then even more laughter.
Anyone have any cigarettes? I'm running low over here...
