Twee Komkommers en een Klein Huisje

Now that I am armed with a small Dutch vocabulary I'm keen to practice. However, I'm risking boring the poor cleaner at work to death with my extremely limited range of questions. Instead I've resorted to the mute approach; I listen in to people's conversations on trains in the hope that I'll understand. Today I listened to one woman talk at length. Unfortunately the only words that I managed to catch were 'Walter Raleigh', 'Small House' and 'Two Cucumbers'.
