MasterM is translating during a coaching session
between a South African coach
and an Argentinian rugby player.
South African Coach
Ask him if he can do the Goose-Step tackle
MasterM (in Spanish)
Can you do the tackle
when you step like a goose?
Argentinian Player
What on earth do you mean?
MasterM (in English)
He says that he has been trained
in the full range of tackle techniques
South African Coach
But can you make sure
that he can do the Goose-Step tackle.
MasterM (in Spanish)
Listen to me - when I say goose
you must say 'Si!' very loudly.
OK?
Argentinian Player
OK!
MasterM (in Spanish)
Goose!
Argentinian Player
Si!!
MasterM (in English)
He says yes!
MrsM wonders if MasterM will enter the Diplomatic Service.

Too Funny! Master M really thinks fast on his feet!
Very very funny! I love leaving your blog with a smile on my face!
He will go far that boy.
that is hilarious! I'm thinking politician rather than diplomat...
Love that boy.
OMG, he is going to end up running the world!
Smart boy yours - so presumably this little discussion was followed up by a quick impromptu training session to bring the Argentinian player up to speed - goosey, goosey!
That boy will go far!
Somehow this whole thing is lost in translation. Is it anything like duck, duck, goose?
Definitely destined for great things!!!
I really feel that MasterM should have demonstrated to show a goose step by running round the room in the same style as David Campese of old.
He's a sly dog, that Master M.
Lekker !
I think Master M is an expert in side stepping... never mind geese and tackles!!!
What is the goose step tackle? Can the poor man learn it? Will we ever know?
Haha funny stuff

He definitely has a bright future, I fear he might do rather well in politics!
If the diplomatic service doesn't work out then how about a career in comedy? Fantastic!
Yes, indeed! K x
