  When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it not only with the help of words, but also in many other ways. For example, we sometimes move our heads up and down when we want to say“Yes”,and we move our heads from side to side when we want to say“No”. People who can neither hear nor talk to each other can communicate with the help of their fingers. People who don't understand each other's language have to do the same. The following story shows how they sometimes do it.

  An Englishman who couldn't speak Italian was once traveling in Italy. One day he entered a restaurant and sat at a table. When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers in it, took them out again and moved his lips. In this way he meant to say,“Bring me something to eat.”The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The Englishman shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn't want tea, so he took it away and brought him some coffee. The Englishman was very hungry at this time and looked very sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another traveler came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach. That was enough. After a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table for him.

[  ]

A.Look for help of words.

(2) What did the Englishman want the waiter to bring him?
