OPeration Dragoon D+2 nead Frejus Fr. L-141 was shunted off to flush out some germans in the Frejus area. we halted for more orders, when a little girl came up to see the American Gis. A buddy got oout his phrase book to axk for eggs! It had the singular euf for one egg. The french don,t use that miuch. He tries it any way. The proper way is to aks for eggs sounds llike( Le zoo) We did not know it at that time.
so he gives euf- no response so he euf eufs ! She shakes her head and goes home and cmoes back with a pup ! The buddy says NO euf euf ! She says as she ppoints to the pup euf euf and shakes her head yes. He could not refuse her offer.
How ever, when he saw she would miss her pup he gave it back before we left.
