Mr. Cook is English. He likes singing foreign songs very much. But he isn’t good at it at all.

Last week he went to a friend’s house to have dinner, and there were other guests(客人)there, too. They had a good dinner and were very happy. Then the host(男主人)went to Mr. Cook and said, “It’s said that you can sing Spanish(西班牙的)songs, Mr. Cook? Would you please sing us a Spanish song?”

Mr. Cook was very happy. He began to sing an old Spanish song. The guests listened to it for a few minutes and then a young woman with black hair and black eyes began to cry. One of the other guests went to her and said, “Please don’t cry. Are you Spanish?” Another guest asked, “Do you love Spain?” “No,” the woman answered, “I’m not Spanish, and I have never been to Spain. But I love music.
