Mrs. Stein, a rich tourist, goes to Paris to visit the art galleries. She decides to hire the services of a guide to show her around the Louvre.
“Oh!” said Mrs. Stein, looking at a painting. “That’s a Monet, isn’t it?”
“No, Madame, almost, it’s a Manet,” replied the guide.
“And that one, it’s a Pissaro?”
“Er — no, I’m sorry, Madame, that’s a Monet.”
“Oh, I see. Now that one I’m sure of — that’s a Picasso, isn’t it?”
“No, Madame, that’s a mirror.”
