Lesson 14 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 learnt, he was English himself!
