A true story by Chris Coyle It was the first day of my camping holiday in Greece and everything was perfect . Except for one thing – a mosquito had bitten me on the back of my leg . I needed to find a chemist`s .
When I got to the village square , I realized I had a problem . All the shop signs were written in the Greek alphabet . I had no idea which shop was which . There was a delicious smell of fresh bread . I followed my nose and went into the shop I thought the smell was coming from . I was wrong . It was a post-office . The backer`s was next door .
As I sat in the square eating my breakfast , I analyzed my problem . I couldn ’ t read the shop signs and it was an old-fashioned village so there no windows full of products and advertising posters to identify each shop . However , I thought if I paid attention , I could work out what each shop was selling .
A man came out of one place . He was puffing some money on his wallet . So that was the bank . There was an old woman with a bag full of fruit and vegetables : the greengrocer`s . Then I saw a young woman coming out of a shop . In her shopping bag I saw baby food and talcum powder . That must be the chemist`s .
There was only one customer in the shop . Good , I thought . I won`t have to wait long . I was wrong . The customer enjoyed a long discussion about each item she purchased . By the time she had finally paid , the chemist`s was full of customers . They watched as I approached the counter and smiled at the shop assistant . I asked her if she spoke English . She nodded . I asked her if she had anything for mosquito bites . She nodded again . „ How much is it ?“ She nodded again , more , more energetically this time .
What was wrong with her ? Was she deaf ? It was then that I remembered that in Greece people nod their heads to say „ no “ or „ I don`t understand “ and shake their heads to say „ yes “. Brilliant ! She didn ’ t speak English and I didn ’ t speak Greek I turned to the other customers . Did anyone speak English ? They all nodded .
