A Polish couple were delighted when their long wait to adopt a baby came to
an end. The adoption center called and told
them that they had a wonderful Russian baby boy, and the couple took him without
hesitation. On the way home from the adoption center, they stopped by the local
college so they each could enroll in night courses.
After they filled out the forms, the registration clerk inquired, "What ever
possessed you to study Russian?" The couple said proudly, "We just adopted a
Russian baby, and in a year or so he'll start to talk. We just want to be able
to understand him."
