A Traveler in Italy
An English man was once traveling in Italy. One day he went into a small restaurant to order dinner. He understood very little Italian and was unable to read the menu (菜單) . He knew the word egg, and so he ordered eggs. Italy is famous, however, for its mushrooms (蘑菇) ,and the man wanted to try some mushrooms. The waiter did not speak a word of English and therefore could not help him. At last, the man took out of his pocket a pencil and a piece of paper. The waiter looked at the picture of the mushroom for a long while. He did not understand very well, but at last he left. He was gone a long time. After about half an hour he returned. But instead of mushrooms, he brought the man a large black umbrella.
