What is a chik-chak? Bird or Gecko? Pictures?!?
|
HI!
I really need your help.
In Somerset Maugham �s short story: The Force of Circumstance, there is a chik-chak as a Leitmotif. As one book for teachers stated it is supposed to be a bird, which can be regarded as a bad omen. However I cannot find any evidenve for this on the Internet. There are no pictures and the funny/strange thing is- apart form the explanation in the teacher �s guide, some people on the net stated that it is a gecko?!?
Besides, I �d love to have a picture of it, in order to show it to my students!
Thanks for helping!
Diana

Oh that is soo funny, in Hebrew (slang) it means �quickly � as in �Let �s do this chik-chak �. |
