When our PCT hero, Grizzly,is not out on the trail, he works making rustic furniture for his store.  He makes a good living and TrailDust helpshim too.
One day he goes to TorontoCanada to a rustic furniture convention and TrailDust watches the business backhome.  After arriving, he visited some vendors and selects some items he thought would sell well back home. To celebrate thenew acquisitions, he decided to visit a small French bistro and have a glass ofwine.
As he sat enjoying hiswine, he noticed that the small place was quite crowded, and that the otherchair at his table, was the only vacant seat in the house.
Before long, a verybeautiful young girl came to his table, asked him something in French, whichGrizzly could not understand.  So, hemotioned to the vacant chair and invited her to sit down.
He tried to speak toher in English, but she did not speak it very good.  After a couple of minutes of trying tocommunicate with her, he took a napkin and drew a picture of a wine glass andshowed it to her. She nodded, so he ordered a glass of wine for her.
After sitting togetherat the table for a while, he took another napkin, and drew a picture of a platewith food on it, and she nodded. They had a nice meal and enjoyed the smallgroup playing music.
After dinner, Grizzly took another napkin and drew a picture of a coupledancing. She nodded, and they got up to dance. They danced until the cafeclosed and the band was packing up. 
 
Back at their table, the young lady took a napkin and drew a picture of afour-poster bed. To this day, Grizzly has no idea how she figured out he was inthe furniture business.
