I have been reading some messages in this forum and began to think about The
Night Show years ago when Jack Parr was the host 

Some nights he would have 4 or 5 people who could use multiple languages.

Jack would (whisper?) tell a short story ( or joke) to one of the guest.
Each guest would say the story to another guest but in another language.
When the story was told to the last member of the group they would tell Jack
and the audience in English what they heard and most times the story was very
different than it was first told
