translation

When Louis came to Jeff's house, he lifted his head and saw a pair of suspicious shoes. "By the holy Virgin!" he cried. "Those shoes belong to Zelda, my sister!" Gallantly, he hurled a stone in order to dislodge those shoes. But he missed and the stone fell on the mayor's limousine. "Whore mother!" cried the mayor and threatened him with a beheading gesture. Scared to death, Louis rang the bell. By miracle, the door was open and he entered.

Inside, Dana, his sister's psychologist, was waiting for him. "What are you doing here?" Louis demanded. Dana answered with a slap so violent that he passed out. When he regained consciousness, Dana was sitting on the tabouret, almost completely naked: naked minus Zelda's shoes. "Murderer!" cried Louis. "What have you done with my sister?" Dana answered him with a chuckle: "Ha ha ha!" Then she told him that Zelda and the other thieves had stolen the yellow patches from the Holocaust Museum, replacing them with imitations made in China, and that now poor Zelda was punishing herself with all kinds of spiritual experiments. "How horrible!" exclaimed Louis. "She's completely lost!"

"Don't worry about it, my love," Dana whispered, fondling him. Suddenly Louis began to hallucinate. He was floating in space among the stars and the planets, looking for his sister. When he landed on one of the moons of Saturn, he was told that Zelda had escaped to another galaxy, but suddenly his cellular telephone rang. It was his sister, who was calling  him from Jupiter. "What are you doing there?" Louis asked her. "Come back to Saturn immediately, don't be an ass!"
