How to guess the meaning of words?
A French student goes to London for his holiday. He knows a little English, but he can’t speak it very well. One day he goes to a restaurant. He wants to have some eggs, but he can’t remember the English word for “egg”.
He looks around and sees a picture of a hen. He shows the picture to the waiter. “ What do you call her children?” he asks. “Chicks, sir.”“ And what do you call chicks before they’re born?”“ Eggs, sir.”“Very well,” says the French student. “ Give me two eggs and a cup of tea, please”.
