A man walking a dog
Usually when I go to work, I come across a man walking his dog. One day I stopped and asked the man if I could pet his dog for a moment. Given the limping and slow movements the dog seemed to be pretty old. The man responded with a little hesitation but told me that it would be ok. The dog was female and was called Kira. As I was approaching her, I recognized that in fact she had to be really old. Her eyes looked glassy and the fur seemed to be greasy. I reached out my arm so that she could smell my hand first. It was quite obvious that she enjoyed our contact. While petting her I noticed that her stomach was expanded like a balloon. The man told me that she was a good dog and he loved to give her some goodies from time to time. I asked the man If she was his first dog. To my surprise he told me that she had been already his fifth dog and that all his dogs became very old. Hence, I asked myself how old actually the man must have been. The man in turn seemed to wonder where I was heading to in the late morning that it was. I taught him that I was going to work. I glimpsed at the dog before leaving and whished the man a beautiful day.

Le café
Moi, je suis un grand fan de café. Je bois du café à de nombreuses occasions – pendant une pause au travail, pour le petit-déj ou quand je retrouve des amis. J’aime l’odeur, j’aime le goût et j’aime même tous les bruits accompagnants la préparation. Selon mes envies je bois du café noir, du café allongé ou du café crème. En plus je préfère boire du café quand je suis accompagné.
Ce matin je me suis levé tard. Evidemment j’étais encore très fatigué. Je n’arrivais même pas à me bouger. Bien après que j’ai ouvert les yeux une pensée m’est venue rapidement. Je pensais au café. J’avais vraiment hâte de boire du café. Cela m´a beaucoup motivé à me lever. Par conséquent j’ai sorti mon lit pour me rendre à la cuisine. Arrivé à la cuisine j’ai pris la cafetière pour préparer le café. À partir de là il faisait attendre. En attendant j’ai cherché le journal pour le mettre sur la table. Qu’y a-t-il de plus agréable que de boire un café en lisant le journal. Comme le café a mis exceptionnellement beaucoup de temps je me suis rendu à la cuisinière pour aller voir ce qui se passe. J’ai dû me rendre compte que j’avais oublié d’allumer la plaque. Quel malheur 😊.
