12. At the end of this work, the two couples repeat the same
conversation at the beginning, only they switch their lines, so the
guests discuss the three helpings they had at dinner. The poem The
Fire is read to the guests by the housemaid Mary, who enters the room
declaring the obvious fact that she is the maid. Her poetry reading
is prompted by the arrival of the Fire Chief, who recounts the tale
of "The Dog and the Cow." This absurdist drama centers on
the
arrival of the Martins as they dine with the Smiths. FTP, identify
