Last week Mrs. Mills went to London. She does not know London very well, and
she lost her way.#
Suddenly, she saw a man near a bus stop. 'I can ask him the way.' she said to
herself.#
'Excuse me,' she said. 'Can you tell me the way to King Street, please?'#
The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German. He
was a tourist.#
Then he put his hand into pocket, and took out a phrasebook.#
He opened the book and found a phrase. He read the phrase slowly. 'I am
sorry,' he said. 'I do not speak English.'&
