Last week Mrs. Mier went to London. She doesn't 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, can you tell me the way to King Street?', she said.
The man smiled pleasantly. He did not understand English! He spoke German.He was a tourist.
Then he put his hand into his 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'
