5 He goes away again and brings back later with a huge plateau of plates and of dishes.
- Slipping- page 6
6 He put it down on a small pedestal table near our table.

9 While turning himself to take another plate, he jostles the plateau. The plateau slips, the dishes slip, the plates slip and everything smashes the soil.
- Slipping- page 10
10 The waiter is confused.
- Slipping- page 11
11 And we’re a bit confused too.

12 The only girl at the table begins to tell a story.
- Slipping- page 13
13 The young woman evokes the time when she was working in a restaurant. She relates the day when the survivors of Dachau came to commemorate the anniversary date of the camp liberation.
- Slipping- page 14
14 The restaurant crew was briefed to avoid any misunderstanding or unfortunate allusion.
- Slipping- page 15
15 The guests (i.e. the survivors of Dachau) arrive and the young woman plays her role of waitress as usual.
- Slipping- page 16
16 At the end of the meal, an old lady calls her because she did not receive cookie with her coffee, while everyone received some.
- Slipping- page 17
17 The waitress goes back in the kitchen to ask an additional cookie but the cook replies that he prepared the exact account of cookies and there is no cookie anymore. Someone should have had two cookies.
- Slipping- page 18
18 The old lady expresses her disappointment and the waitress is sorry for that, but the old lady still wants her cookie.
IMG/jpg/gliss19.jpg
19 Touched by the distress of the old lady, the waitress returns in the kitchen.
- Slipping- page 20
20 We have to do something, she says to the cook.
- Slipping- page 21
21 The cook gathers the cookie pieces on a saucer decorated with a paper lace.
- Slipping- page 22
22 She returns in the restaurant room and deposits the dessert on the table in front of the old lady.
- Slipping- page 23
23 And if this story was not true, that would have looked like a pitiful and tasteless calendar joke.
- Slipping- page 24
24 At the moment she put the saucer on the table, she pronounces some words of excuse and she realizes, at the same moment when she pronounces these words, her blooper.
- Slipping- page 25
25 She says : "Excuse me… these are the oven survivors".
- Slipping- page 26
26 The old lady simply replies with a small voice : "Me too." The end.
