Do You Speak English
I had an amusing experience last year. After I had
left a small village in the south of France, I drove on to the next town. On
the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he asked me for a lift. As soon
as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied
in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all.
Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town, when the
young man suddenly said, very slowly, “Do you speak English?” As I soon learnt,
he was English himself!
