sometimes not given to us to measure the depth of ignorance of the language in which trying to communicate with us ...
approached me nigger and the Caribbean asked:
- that does not paniman?
I estesstvenno said
- I do not paniman!
he continued:
entontses, American? (Entonces americán?)
and then I realized that he had asked me, and answered:
- no, soy ruso. (After all, at least half, I'm Russian)

Negro thought he was talking to me in English, and I thought that in Russian (it often happens here in the jungle there are former Soviet students)

turned out that he had asked for Mangling language: "TU - PANIMAN?" (TU - "you" in English) (SPANISHMAN) Hispanic? (Po-angl.)

well, and I'm almost right A: I PANIMAN (YA-COI. ALREADY) _YA - not the Spaniard ... (Although it is not clear how this can be not a Spaniard, but not a Jew)
- mean American? he asked
- no, I'm Russian ... I said ...

we parted happy with each other, the Negro thought we understood each other ... ,
although at first I really did not paniman ...
