> Eugene, a furniture dealer from St. John's Newfoundland , decided > to expand the line of furniture in his store, so he decided to go to > Paris to see what he could find. > > After arriving in Paris , he visited with some manufacturers and > selected a line that he thought would sell well back home. To celebrate the new acquisition, > he decided to visit a small bistro and have a glass of wine. As he sat enjoy ing his wine, he > noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the other chair at his table was > the only vacant seat in the house. Before long, a very beautiful young Parisian girl came to > his table; asked him something in French (which Eugene couldn't understand); so he > motioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down. He tried to speak to her in > English, but she did not speak his language. After a couple of minutes of trying to > communicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass and showed it to > her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of wine for her. After sitting together at the > table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a plate with food on it, > and she nodded. They left the bistro and found a quiet cafe that featured a small group > playing romantic music. They ordered dinner..... after which he took another napkin and > drew a picture of a couple dancing. She nodded, and they got up to dance. They danced > until the cafe closed and the band was packing up. Back at their table, the young lady > took a napkin and drew a picture of a four-poster bed. > To this day, Eugene has no idea > how she figured out he was in the furniture business. |
