The Holiday
I was seated at my computer, prudently planning my holiday trip. I was comparing hotel prices, reading reviews, looking at pictures, checking the distances to monuments and natural wonders on the map. Would I give up and not choose anything again, as I had been doing for three years in a row now? Anything but that! But there were so many offers, all of them were so much alike… Finally, I selected the first random location, reserved a stay and went to sleep.
The Little Mouse
My cat has literally gone crazy about its new toy – a little mouse made of rags and feathers. My furry friend doesn’t care about anything else, asserting its desire to play by meowing loudly each morning. So what’s the problem? Well, the problem is that in the meantime, my house has been infested by real mice. This morning, while chasing around its rags, Purrsey was wading in hundreds of rodents, which have created a live rug in my bedroom!
The Scarecrow
As I was walking through the fields, I saw a scarecrow sitting among the ripe wheat. It looked exactly like me. Could this have been a bad omen? Had I just stumbled upon my gloomy motionless look-alike? Oh, the horrific silence of the straw mouth! With trembling feet, I walked up to the scarecrow. Whew! Up close, he didn’t look anything like me at all.
Wrocław
I took a holiday trip to Wrocław. As I was visiting the city, I met a local who, to my comment about the beauty of Wrocław, replied that we weren’t in Wrocław, but in Gdańsk. Having laughed for a moment at the absurd idea of this obviously half-witted inhabitant, I continued my visit of the city. After a while, I reached the seaside and realized that this was indeed Gdańsk.
The Washing Machine
I once made up my mind to go into the washing machine and see how it is to be washed. I undressed fully. I didn’t add any detergent because it can irritate the skin and is terribly foamy. I also set the program so that the water temperature would not exceed 30°. I opened the door and stuffed my head inside the washing machine. There was no more room for anything else, so I dressed and left the house.
