A Frenchman was travelling in England. He could
speak English quite well, but his vocabulary was not good. One day he was
dining in a hotel and wanted to order two boiled eggs. But he didn’t remember
the word ‘egg’ in English. Just then he saw a cock out of the window.
“What do you call that bird?” he asked the waiter.
“I call it a cock,” answered the waiter.
“What do you call the wife of cock?” he asked
“I call it a hen.” The waiter answered.
“What do you call the hen's children?” he asked
“I call them chicks.” The waiter told him
“What do you call the chicks before they are born?” the
Frenchman asked the waiter again.
“I call them eggs,” said the waiter
“That’s the word I am looking for!” said the Frenchman.
“Please bring me two boiled eggs.”
