Two Americans were travelling in Spain. One morning they entered a little restaurant for lunch. They didn't know Spanish, however, and the waiter did not know English. So they tried to make him understand that they wanted some milk and sandwiches.

At first they pronounced the word "milk" many times. Then they spelled it. But the waiter still could not understand.

At last one of them took a piece of paper and began to draw a cow. He was just finishing his drawing, when the waiter looked at it and ran out of the restaurant.

"You see", said the treveller who had drawn the cow, "what pencil can do for a man who has difficulties in a foreign country".

After some time the waiter was back, but he brought no milk. He put down on the table in front of the two men two tickets for a bull - fight.
