Mr Wilson was a London businessman. He had to travel all over the world.
Once he went to China on business. It was his first time there and he did not speak Chinese. In
the evening he felt hungry and decided to go to a restaurant. Soon he found a small restaurant
which he liked very much, because it was nice, with very clean table cloths and white napkins on
the tables.
The waiter did not understand English and so Mr Wilson tried to show with his hands that he
was hungry and wanted something to eat. The waiter smiled, he understood.
After some time he brought him some soup. It was excellent. Fifteen minutes later he brought
him a plate full of small pieces of meat. Mr Wilson found it very good but he did not know what
he was eating.
He wanted to find out what kind of meat it was. "Perhaps, it's goose or duck," he thought.
Suddenly he had an idea: he took a piece of meat, showed it to the waiter and asked, "Quack,
quack?"
The waiter smiled and answered, "Bow-wow."
