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 learned, he was

English himself!
