--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if your toothpaste tube looks empty, you can squeeze out some more if you soak the tube in hot water first.

HOW DO YOU SAY BLOOD TYPE IN FRENCH? threatening black letters asked Steffie Cvek. Steffie looked around her; no one was there. The question was directed solely at her. "I wonder," thought Steffie, "how do you say blood type in French?" She stepped cautiously up to the poster.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR PEOPLE WHO SAY
THEY CAN'T LEARN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE!

"True!" Steffie Cvek agreed at once.

OUR COURSES PROVE THAT EVERYONE CAN LEARN
A FOREIGN LANGUAGE. AGE DOESN'T MATTER.
RESULTS GUARANTEED!

"How true!" thought Steffie.

A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IS YOUR WINDOW TO THE WORLD!
OPEN THAT WINDOW-LEARN A LANGUAGE!
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD KNOW HOW TO SAY
BLOOD TYPE IN FRENCH BUT YOU DON'T!
THE LANGUAGE COURSE KNOWS AND SO CAN YOU!

"Absolutely right," Steffie thought. She found a pencil and a piece of paper and wrote down the address and phone number at the bottom of the poster.

She went home and called to her aunt from the door:
"How do you say blood type in French?"

"Clasthement de sthang! Why do you athk?" her aunt shot back, and added, "Your blood type ith very important. I'm B and I never forget it. It'th thomething you really thould know, in other languageth too. Jutht think how many people have died becauthe they didn't know thier blood type!"
