 Sven - from Minnesota

 

 

 

Sven, a furniture dealer from Albert Lea, Minnesota, 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 enjoying 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 Sven could not

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, Sven has no idea how

she figured out he was in the furniture business.

Well, you see, Sven was so in love with his wife, he almost told her!
