Getting Around

The Newcomer

The newcomer shows up at a restaurant and starts looking around. The waiter asks, "Is there anything I can help you with?" The Newcomer looks at the waiter and looks around.  He doesn't understand the waiter. The waiter then asks him again. "Are you looking for something?" The Newcomer then proceeds to sit down and without saying a word, looks around like he is looking for something.
,
At that moment a Spanish speaking person walks in and the Newcomer's face lights up. The waiter goes to greet the next customer. "Hi, how may I help you?" The Spanish speaking person then asks. "I am looking for a..." Just at that moment the Newcomer interrupts..."Disculpe,bla Espanol?
"Si," says the Spanish speaker person. The Newcomer then replies. "Que bueno, ya me estaba preocupando.' No podia contestarle al mesero nada por que no se hablar Ingles.".
"No se preocupe", the Spanish speaking person said.
"Gracias", said the Newcomer. "De nada", answered the Spanish speaking person said.

The two are talking in Spanish while the waiter watches them talk.

"Pues si, la cosa se pone dificil con eso de que no se hablar Ingles". Said the Newcomer.
"Y necesita algo, quiere que le interprete con el mesero?" Said the Spanish speaking person.
" Pues la verdad no quiero comer, lo que en verdad quiero es aprender Ingles" said the Newcomer.
"No sabe donde puedo aprender Ingles?" asked the Newcomer.
"No se, pero puedo averiguar". Answered the Spanish speaking person.
"Me podria averiguar? Se lo agradecere mucho si me ayuda en eso". Said the Newcomer.
"Tengo un libro que le puede servir". Proposed the Spanish speaking person.
"Gracias!, creo que para empezar seria bueno". Exclaimed the Newcomer.

They both exchanged personal information and the Newcomer left the building.
