You're right; the original drawings are terrible. And the ten pages of text are in some furschlugginer foreign language!!!

Sheepherder,

You know, educated Germans speak at least three languages fluently and English is one of them.

Here, we are lucky to even speak one properly.

Sheepherder,

I don't know that being able to speak three languages makes anyone superior, but it sure does make it easier on the American tourists traveling in Germany. The classical German education includes German, French and English.

Traveling in France is much more difficult, as even the young people there may not speak anything but French.

PS: I've actually learned quite a bit of Spanish, here in NYC. It just makes things easier.
