When we don't understand each other's language, we talk with the help of signs.
A Frenchman was once travelling in England. He could not speak English at all. One day he went into a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, he opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The man shook his head. The waiter took away the tea and then he brought him a cup of coffee. The man again shook his head. Then the waiter brought him a lot of drinks, but the man still shook his head. Of course, drinks are not food.
When the man was leaving, another man came in. This man saw the waiter, and he put his hands on his stomach. That was enough. In a few minutes, there was a large plate of meat and vegetables on the table in front of him. How clever he was! .
