Ein Traum aus dem Traumtagebuch von Graham Greene:

The U.S.S.R.

I was walking with four companions through Moscow at night, but a KGB car frightened my friends ands they left me alone. I thought it best to go up to the KGB officers of my own accord and ask the way to the Europa Hotel. The officers said, «Get in the car. We’ll take you there.» At the hotel someone brought a high-chair for the second officer, and I could see now that he was a dwarf. I asked im why people were not allowed in the streets at night. He replied, «We want the streets to be safe.» I said, »Safe from whom, if nobody’s allowed in them?» He admitted that I had a point there he hadn’t thought of.
