A PICTURE OF A MUSHROOM
One day a Frenchman, who was travelling in Sweden, came to a restau-rant. The Frenchman didn’t know Swedish and nobody could speak French at the restaurant. He wanted to have some mushrooms for his breakfast; so he called a waiter and asked him to bring some mushrooms. But the waiter couldn’t understand what the Frenchman wanted.
Then the Frenchman took a piece of paper and a pencil and drew a pic-ture of a mushroom. The waiter looked at the picture and left the room at once.
Five minutes later he returned with an umbrella.

A PICTURE OF A MUSHROOM
One day a Frenchman, who was travelling in Sweden, came to a restau-rant. The Frenchman didn’t know Swedish and nobody could speak French at the restaurant. He wanted to have some mushrooms for his breakfast; so he called a waiter and asked him to bring some mushrooms. But the waiter couldn’t understand what the Frenchman wanted.
Then the Frenchman took a piece of paper and a pencil and drew a pic-ture of a mushroom. The waiter looked at the picture and left the room at once.
Five minutes later he returned with an umbrella.
