Her parents marveled at how well they got along, in spite of the fact that neither spoke a word of the other’s language. Later when asked, “Could you understand anything the German girl said to you?” the little girl said, “No!” Mom asked, “Did she understand you?” Her daughter shook her head and said, “No she didn’t” “But you played so nicely together.
