Last night Anna saw a nightmare and it was like this. She was standing on her balcony in a daylight. Then suddenly a crow flew over there and told her in a human's voice, ''Look, Anna, your first language is not English so I think you are chasing rainbows and I am quite sure you will not be successful! So, my suggestion is you better stop learning.''

Anna became numb for a while but she managed herself and answered forthrightly, 'Hey, what else if English is not my first language? I know I have to try until the cows come home and I know sometimes it seems to be long, but I will not give up, I bet,''

Then the crow flew again! But next day Anna saw a day mare! She was on the same balcony. She was sipping her coffee and watching outside. Her day mare was like this...

'' Hey, I heard you are going to change your present job, is it true?' Anna stammered, '' What, am I going to change my job who said so? Her friend said, '' Well, well, come down, dear, actually I heard it through/on the grapevine, sorry!''

'' Sorry, only sorry, I think nowadays you are trying to pull a fast one on me telling this or that. Tell me what is going on your mind. Do you want me to leave?''

He stammered but finally was able to clear his mind in this way,'' Listen, Anna, do not say or take a decision in a wink and do not get me wrong. You know how much I care you and I am always ready to help you at the drop of a hat!'

So, finally her day mare was not that bad, right?
