Two Americans were traveling in Spain. One morning they came into a little restaurant for lunch, They did not know Spanish, and their waiter did not know English. They wanted him to understand that they wanted some milk and sandwiches.

　　 At first they pronounced the word "milk" many times. Then they spelled it. But the waiter could not understand them.

　　 At last one of them took a piece of paper and began to drew a cow. He was finishing his drawing, when the waiter looked at it and ran out of the restaurant.

　　 "Do you see," said one of the travelers, "what a pencil can do for a man who had difficulties in a foreign country1"

　　 The waiter was back again some time later, but he brought no milk.

　　 He put down in front of the two men tickets for a bull-fight.
