During her summer vacation, a young Austrian student named Margo Fenster went on a walking tour in the north of Scotland. She visited Fort William and Inverness and enjoyed the lake and mountain scenery. Most of the time she tried to keep to the side roads because she wanted to see how the local people lived. She also wanted to get away from cars and trucks as much as possible. She hiked past farmhouses and fields full of sheep.
It was near the end of the summer, and here and there she could see farmers on tractors harvesting their crops. The weather was fine and unusually warm. Suddenly dark clouds appeared in the sky and within a quarter of an hour a thunderstorm started. There was heavy rain and thunder and lightning. Miss Fenster came to a small village, and she found a pub. This was excellent because it was just lunchtime. Miss Fenster went into the pub. Inside, to the right of the bar, there was a small room.
She sat down by the window and tried to order lunch. Her English was poor, however, and she could not make herself understood. There was no menu that she could point to, and she was very hungry after walking all morning. Suddenly she had an idea. In the small hotels where she always stayed, the usual breadfast was bacon and eggs and mushrooms. She took out a piece of paper and a pencil and drew a simple picture of a mushroom.
the waiter looked at the drawing , said "Right. I understand," and went out of the room. Miss Fenster was pleased and sat waiting hungrily for her lunch. But a few minutes later, when the waiter appeared again, he was not bringing a plate of hot food. He was holding an umbrella.
「オーストラリア」ではなく「オーストリア」でした。初歩的なミスで申し訳ありません。
ドイツ語圏の名前ですので"Margo Fenster"のカナ表記は「マーゴ・フェンスター」ではなく「マルゴ・フェンスター」がより近いものになります。併せて訂正いたします。
