What are they about?
1. Coffee and Tea
Coffee and tea were not known in Europe three hundred years ago. People were afraid
to drink them because they thought coffee or tea could kill a person. Once the king of
Sweden decided to find out whether it was true or not.
At that time there were two brothers in prison. They were twins and were much alike.
They had committed a crime and had been sentenced to death. The king said: “I’ll let them
live but they must drink coffee or tea to the end of their lives. One brother must drink coffee
and other must drink tea every day.”
They both lived many years. At last one of the brothers died when he was eighty four
years old. The other died a few years later. In this way it was proved that neither tea nor
coffee are harmful to man.
2. “Bon Appetit”
An American and a Frenchman, who knew only their own languages, were dining at
the same time on board a ship.
On the first day the Frenchman who had been at the table when the American came,
arose, made a low bow and said, “Bon appetit!” The American thought he was introducing
himself, so he also bowed and said: “Watson”.
