ATTENTION ALL MOOSES:
This posting is addressing the necessity of learning a foreign language. To be a respectable moose, one must practice the ancient art of language acquisition. This involves knowing how to say "Ice cream is good and cold" in Swedish, as well as "Call an ambulance" in Spanish. I just began learning Spanish tonight and I can now say "I have a shoelace," as well as the ambulance comment. Some would say that foreign languages for mooses are not necessary. What would you do, however, if the need should arise for a Vietnamese translator? There is talk of an over-sized influx of Vietnamese mooses within the next 6 months. I can, in case you were wondering, say "How does water evaporate?" in Viet. What if your family became migrating mooses and you began journeying north for the winter? It would be awful hard to find the most tender pond weeds if you unable to speak Norwegian. Although you can never learn too many, the minimum amount would be knowing 32 languages if you just want to "get by." Of course all American mooses would agree that the most difficult language of all to learn is Australian. If you are ready for a challenge, and have mastered Chinese, Afrikaans, and Russian, you might give it a try. Until next time,
Peace.
Paix.
Peace-o.
Thái bình.
