A Spanish-speaking man who didn’t speak English well was in an American store, looking to buy socks. Unable to find them, he approached a saleswoman who asked if she could help. "Quiero calcetines," the man said.
“I’m afraid I don’t speak any Spanish, but we have some nice suits on this side," said the woman, trying to be helpful.
“No, no quiero trajes. Quiero calcetines." said the man.
The woman said, "Well, what about these shirts? They’re on sale this week."
“No, no quiero camisas. Quiero calcetines," he said.
“I’m sorry, I still don’t know what you’re trying to say," said the saleswoman. "There are some fine pants on this rack."
The man insisted, "No, no quiero pantalones. Quiero calcetines."
“Our undershirts are over here," she tried, beginning to lose patience.
“No, no quiero camisetas. Quiero calcetines!" the man repeated.
But as they passed the underwear section, the man spotted a display of socks and grabbed a pair excitedly. Showing them to her, he exclaimed, "Eso sí que es!"
“‘Well, if you could spell it," said the exasperated saleswoman, "why didn’t you do that in the beginning?”
