Great story about the unselfish love of the Russian language





Once I was sent on a business trip to Vilnius. No bias to his countrymen, I did not notice. But talking in Russian only for the older generation. The youth are mostly refusing to answer in Russian, despite the fact that language knows.

We went with a colleague for dinner in one small restaurant. Menu is in English only. By the time we grief in half chose the dishes to us as once the waiter came. Look 25 years old, nice young man. A colleague in his native language he begins to voice his own order, to which he answers that he does not understand in Russian.

My friend thought a little and said on Russian:

— Okay, I'll do the order in English, but a tip then don't wait.

The waiter was quite clever, proof of which was his immediate response in fluent Russian:

We are glad to see you in our restaurant! What do you want?
