Narrator: After people stopped laughing, the wise man told the same joke again. Man 1: Why is he telling us the same joke? Man 2: Can't he think of a new one? Narrator: The wise man told the joke a third time. Now, no one laughed. Woman: (calling out) Why do you tell the same joke again and again? We want to learn the key to happiness.
