A Frenchman was travelling in England. He couldn't speak English at all. He knew only a few English words. And was difficult for him, to make himself understood. One day he came to a country inn. He felt hungry and decided to have lunch there. He wanted to order some mushrooms which he liked very much. So he called a waiter and spoke to him in French. The waiter couldn't understand a single word. What was the Frenchman do? At last he had a clue. He will understand ‘what I want', he said to himself. So he took a piece of paper and a pencil and drew a picture of a mushroom. The waiter looked at it and ran out of the room. A few minutes later the waiter returned with an umbrella. For this was how he'd understood the picture.
