In the meantime, these two [others came by the marketplace]. [Elijah] came [again and] said to [R’ Beroka]: These, too, are destined for the World to Come. [R’ Beroka] went up to them, [and] said to them: ‘What do you do?’ They said to him: ‘We are comedians, [and] we go to cheer up those who are depressed. Additionally, whenever we see two people involved in a quarrel, we strive hard to make peace between them.’
