This story was told to me by a coworker, whose daughter gave her a dog as a present, a very small and black - a rare breed. This one time, she was on the train with her dog and at on point, she needed to use the toilet, so she left her cabin just for one second - literally, for one second! The car was almost empty and she was the only person in her cabin. Needless to say, she closed the door - no way a little dog like that could disappear. But when she returned, the dog
seemed to have vanished into thin air. She scoured the whole cabin, but she didn’t find hide or hair of it. Suddenly, she noticed a small hole in the wall. What if her dog went into the adjacent compartment? She knocked on the door, but to no avail - it looked like it was empty. Then she called the guard for help, all the time crying "my little dog". The guard (and whose heart wouldn't waver?) unlocked the door with her key. Here, an amazing scene unfolds in front of them - there's roast chicken on the table - nothing out of the ordinary - and our dog - a little bit bigger than the chicken itself - gleefully feasting on it. And just across from them, a man who the chicken apparently belonged to, totally dumbfounded.
"Can I take my dog, please?" - timidly asks the woman.
The man seemed to recollect himself, turned his head and said, with terror in his eyes, "Is that a dog?!"
Let's face it - he did have a point. Just think - you're having a drink and eating chicken, and this creeps out of the wall all of a sudden.
By the way, the name of the breed is Brussel Griffon.
What a cute story and so well written! Great work. Let me know if you have any questions. I love that you’re writing!!!
CocoPop, thank you so much for your kind words and detailed corrections! Actually, I surprised myself that I could overcome my laziness this time.))) But I have something to learn. 🤩🙏
My pleasure))
Tatiana, you should implement the corrections so that you have a clean text to refer to in the future👍🏼
Hi Tatiana! That's a very nice story and well written. I can tell you from experience that it helps a lot to implement all this feedback. That way, you and every new reader will be able to read a even better text! As you might have seen in my texts, I underline the implemented feedback. This method is very good because sometimes those blue highlights happen to disappear or move and because it tells you and your readers that the passage has already been edited 😊 I'm looking forward to read more from you soon!
Hi, Uly and Linda! First, I’m happy to be back on here. ☺️ Linda, thank you very much for your compliment! You know I read at least two of your posts and I was really impressed by your translations of CocoPop’s stories. 👍👍 It’s too bad, I myself never got around to doing that.😞 Guys, I’m also sorry for not making corrections in this post. I can’t believe I didn’t! But I have to say that Linda’s idea about underlining the implemented feedback is just great. I hope I righted my wrongs now. And I’m looking forward to your new stories/translations too!😉
Tatiana, welcome back! Your post reads really well now))) I'll take another look at it and see if there's anything else to correct. Great job!
ЭСПАСИБА!!🤩🙏
👍🏻😂
I think you're having the same problem I am — when I submit a comment, it just disappears and the only way to see it is to refresh the page. We'll have to let Robin know about this.
Exactly!
