One evening some of Napoleon's soldiers were having drink together when a young Frenchman brought a friend to their table. He explained that his friend was a Swede and knew no french: but he admired Napoleon so much that he wanted to join the French army and fight for him. The soldiers looked up and saw a tall young man with blue eyes, they liked him at once. They explained that his new friends, would help him if any difficulty arose about the language. The officers saw that he was the right sort of man for them, and he became one of Napoleon's soldiers. He fought bravely in many battles and gained their respect. His knowledge of French remained very weak, because he was not good aat learning languages. Several years later they heard that Napoleon himself was coming to inspect them and thie Swede was warned that the great man would probably ask him some question. It was will known that Napoleon always asked the same three question and usually in the same order. The first question was, "How old are you>". The second was, "How long have you been in my army?" And the third was ,"Did you serve in eith of my las two campaigns?" For many days, the practice continued. The Swede used to walk about, saying to himself, "Twenty-three, sir, Three years, Both, sir!" Napoleonn arrived and caught sight of the tall soldier and realised at once that he had never seen him before. He stopped in front of him and asked his question. Unfortunately this time he began the second question. "How many years have you been in my army?" He said, "Twenty three , sir". Napolean was surprised. He looked at the tall man and asked, "How old are you, then?" "Three years, Sir," Napoleon was shocked and angry. "Either you ar mad, or I am," he declared. "Both, Sir," cried the Swede produly.
