Writing Challenge# Reflexive Pronouns

I remember some years ago, I wanted to test Google Translate (Beta Version):

I questioned myself which sentence I should write for the first time.

I told myself "I am Sahar" is the best!

I wrote in Google box "I am Sahar" in Persian (من سحر هستم).

Then Google translated it: " I am magic"!

Magic?!!

Oh!

Yes!!

Sahar itself means "Dawn" in Persian, but it also means "Magic" with the same writing and different pronunciation, Sehr.

"Google must laugh at itself!" I thought.

But after some seconds, I thought to myself what an excellent translation it was!

Every one is a magic himself!
