Question

Once there were five beggars(乞丐).One was English, one Turkish, one Greek, one was an Arab and one was Persian. 1. They promised to share what they had and help each other in difficult times.

2. They talked about what to do with it. At last they decided to buy something to eat.

“Let’s buy some grapes!”said the Englishman. But the Turkish wanted “uzum”, the Arab“aneb”, the Greek “stafelea”,and the Persian wanted“angur”. They did not understand each other’s language very well. 3.

While they were fighting about how to spend the money, a stranger came along. He knew all the five languages. 4. After they told him, he said,“Give me your coin. I will buy what you want.”

He was soon back with a bunch of grapes. 5. They all asked for the same thing, but the word for“grapes”is different in different languages.

If people could understand each other, there would be no need to argue and fight.
