Dear Olga,
 
There was a flock of sheep in a field.
The first sheep said: "Baa-aa-aa!"
The second sheep said: "Baa-aa-aa!"
The third sheep said: "Moo-oo-oo!"
All of the other sheep asked: "Why did you say �Moo-oo-oo!"?
The third sheep said: "Because I �m learning a foreign language!"

English is a funny language; that explains why we park our car on the driveway and drive our car on the parkway.  ~Author Unknown

It �s a strange world of language in which skating on thin ice can get you into hot water.  ~Franklin P. Jones

At no time is freedom of speech more precious than when a man hits his thumb with a hammer.  ~Marshall Lumsden
 
Sometimes it �s just a short swim from the shipwreck of your life to the island paradise of your dreams - assuming you don �t drown in the metaphor.  ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com

A mother mouse and a baby mouse are walking along, when all of a sudden, a cat attacks them.

The mother mouse goes, "woof!" and the cat runs away.

"See?" says the mother mouse to her baby. "Now do you see why it �s important to learn a foreign language?"
