这是穆罕第一次去他新社区的一家餐馆。他抬头看着菜单板，但他不明白所有这些奇怪的名字是什么意思。他决定向一名女服务员点一杯冰淇淋。她灿烂地笑了笑，然后记下了他点的餐。
过了一会儿，她拿着一个高高的纸杯回来了。杯子里面有一根长吸管和某种饮料。穆罕惊讶地接过杯子并向她道谢，他觉得自己用错了词。
他对着女服务员笑了笑，指着其中一个蛋糕说：“请给我那个。”这似乎比他之前说的话效果更好。
穆罕拿着蛋糕和他意外得到的汽水走到一张桌子旁坐下开始吃。为什么英语在突尼斯的课堂上对他来说那么容易，但是在这个新城市交流时，他甚至都不能得到自己想吃的东西呢？
就在这时，坐在邻桌的一个女孩和她的朋友们一起笑着，然后对穆罕说：“嘿，如果你在这里住一段时间，你会做得更好的。我第一次在这里点沙拉的时候，最后得到的却是一盘装满猪脚的盘子。”
