 A Frenchman in England

A  Frenchman was travelling in England. He knew very few English words. Once he was having breakfast in a small inn. He wanted some eggs. But  he couldn’t remember the word eggs. Suddenly, through the window, he saw a cock in the street. He asked the waiter: “What is this bird called in English?”  “It is called a cock”, the waiter answered.  “What is the cock’s wife called?” the Frenchman asked. “She is called a hen” the waiter said. “What are the hen’s children called?”  “They are called chickens.” “What were the chickens called before they were born?”  “They were called eggs.” “Fine!” said the Frenchman. “Please bring me two eggs and a cup of  tea”.     `
