One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at the table.He wanted to have a cup of tea and some eggs.Soon the waiter came up to him and asked,"Can I help you,sir?"
一天他进去一家餐馆，坐在桌子旁边。他想要喝杯茶、吃些鸡蛋。服务生很快来到他身边问他：“我可以帮你吗？”
"A cup of tea and ...."he could not remember the English word for eggs.He looked around him,but nobody was eating eggs.Then he saw a magazine on the table next to him.There was a picture of a cock on its cover.He showed the picture to the waiter."What's the English for this?"he asked."A cock,sir,"answered the waiter."What do you call a cock's wife?"was the next question."A hen,sir"."And what do you call a hen's children?""Chicks,sir.""And what do you call chicks before they're born?""Eggs,sir.""very well,"said the French student,"Bring me two eggs ,two eggs and a cup of tea,please."And he sat back with a smile on his face.
“一杯茶和…”他忘了鸡蛋英语怎么说了。他看看周围，但是没有吃鸡蛋。然后他看到他隔壁桌子上面有一本杂志。杂志的封面有一张公鸡的图片。他把图片给服务生看。“这个用英语怎么说？”他问。“公鸡，先生”服务生答道。“公鸡的老婆叫什么？”是下一个问他。“母鸡，先生”。“你们怎么称呼母鸡的孩子？”“小鸡，先生。”“小鸡在出生之前叫什么？”“鸡蛋，先生。”“非常好，”法国学生说，“给我两个鸡蛋，两个鸡蛋和一杯茶。”然后他脸上带着微笑坐回座位。
