getting born in a Communist country was the best thing that happened to it.” e<br />

teacher was totally excited. Here was a little boy so taken in by all the propaganda<br />

that he actually believed Communism was heavenly. She called the District Official<br />

to ask him to come over as soon as he could. As transportation was primitive, the<br />

District Official took some days to get there. He was given the best treatment and<br />

the boy was duly called to tell him what the kitten had said. e boy came in and<br />

said: “e cat gave birth to kittens and one of the kittens spoke to me. It said that<br />

being born in a Communist country was the worst thing that had happened to it.”<br />

– “But that is not what it said the last time you talked to me,” the angry teacher retorted.<br />

“Yes,” said the boy, “since then its eyes have opened.”<br />

There is this story <strong>about</strong> a group of political prisoners meeting one day in a<br />

concentration camp, somewhere in Siberia. After a day of back-breaking work,<br />

they sit eating their thin potato soup, and hearing the icy wind blowing through<br />

the broken glass of the windows of their barrack. As they hug together to get<br />

a bit of warmth, they tell each other of how they ended there. They were trozkyists,<br />

revisionists, sicophants, or other enemies of the people. One of them,<br />

though, has a long story to tell.<br />

“It was not because of politics. I was the head master of a school, a kindergarten,<br />

actually. Just that, I never got involved in politics, not at all. But one day I<br />

heard that Stalin in person was going to visit my school. So I started thinking<br />

very hard <strong>about</strong> what I could have done to impress him, and. I asked to the children<br />

if they had something that they would like to tell to comrade Stalin. So,<br />

there was this little girl, so nice, who said: “Well, I would say this to comrade<br />

Stalin: my cat has just had a litter of five kittens and they all are good communists.”<br />

I was delighted of having such a promising young pupil and some days<br />

afterwards, when Stalin came, I hastened to introduce her to him. So the little<br />

girl came up and said aloud: “Comrade Stalin, my cat had a litter of five kittens<br />

and they are all good liberal democrats.” As Stalin’s guards were dragging me<br />

out, I could still ask the girl a question: “Why in the world did you say that?<br />

Hadn’t you said last time that the kittens were all good communists?” And she<br />

answered: “Yes, but by now they have opened their eyes.”<br />
