Black berries?

No, no

Oh

Can you play the piano?

No

Plastic cup

That's right, very good

Do you speak German?

No

I could teach you German

It would take a least a year for you be

able to speak the basic not fluently

So there is no point

You know, German is one of the most

difficult language in the world to learn

Because its grammar is very complicated

I brought you something

Fish

On the second day, I brought her a flower

She was more beautiful

than any woman I'd seen

And I said, "Do you know

where the wild roses grow...

So sweet and scarlet and free?"

Kiwi

That's right, 10 out of 10, then again

Can I give you a kiss?

I can't thank you enough for all

the activities and games...

to keep me company

But you know we can't do that anymore

Would you like to play another

round of touch, guess thing, win

No, that's enough for today

In any case, I run out of

things to test you with

Maybe tomorrow, or one of these days

tomorrow morning?

We'll see

Bye

Bye

Good afternoon

How are you?

Fine

I'm hungry

You haven't brought me a rabbit for days,..

Or things for me to touch and guess

I've got good news

I had a great idea

Have you a minute?

What kind of idea?

I raise my left foot

I bring my elbow to my

knee, and tap it twice

I bring my foot to my knee,

and tap it three times

And I face down, I knee down

I touch my left cheek, and then lie face up

You're sure you prepare to do that?

Yes, of course I'm sure

I wouldn't propose otherwise

When?

Tomorrow

Tomorrow

We should speed up a little

I can't go much faster

These trousers are too tight, I'm sorry

It was dark, I couldn't see clearly

And I didn't have time to try them on

I'm sorry

Never mind

There is a bus coming

It was the hotel coach

They didn't see us

Profile

Fingers

Elbows

Would you like me to show you my belly?

No, I remember you belly very well

Smile

Can I have a knife and fork please?

Not a butter knife, steak knife

Second

Thank you

I'm going to do with the knife

Do you want me to come with you?

I rather you didn't

Don't worry

It's strange at first,

but you get used to it

And you other senses are heightened

Touch, for example, and hearing

I know

I won't be long

Thank you very much
