Working at a college with a preponderance of non-English-speaking students, my sister sometimes had difficulty in communicating with the newly arrived. Once as she was enrolling a young man, she reached a standstill at the question of birth date. No matter what words or motions she used, the young man remained puzzled. Finally, a Chinese student standing nearby asked my sister,"What do you need to know?" After my sister explained, the Chinese woman turned to the young man and hummed the first few bars of "Happy Birthday to you".
His eyes lit up in recognition as he exclaimed,"May 12, 1985." The helpful student shrugged and said,"Same song, every country."
