| A German tourist was in Madrid. It was a particularly hot day and after walking around the old part of town for some time, the German went to a bar: Ein Bier, bitte ! A beer, please. Do you understand ? Ein Bier! Une bi�re, s�il vous pla�t ! Bier! Bira! Bera ! The last two words were invented, and yet the waiter suddenly seemed to understand. He walked away and came back with a PEAR on a little silver plate. Without knowing that the Spanish word for beer is CERVEZA, how should the tourist have ordered his drink? |
