"To you!" (answers the Jewish nation).
"No, to you!" (protests the Jewish language).
"Well, then, to both of us!" (allows the Jewish nation). "It seems we are both a kind of Jargon. Mercy on us, what shall we do without a grammar and without a land?"
"Unless the Zionists purchase a grammar of the Sultan!" (romances the
Jewish language).
"Or at all events a land!" (sighs the Jewish nation).
"You think that the easier of the two?" (asks the Jewish language,
wittily).
And at the same moment they look at one another and laugh loudly and
merrily.
This is genuine Heinesque humor.
