HAVE A NICE DAY ! Can you imagine the number of times a day people say

or hear or need “have”? In the morning you have a shower. If you don’t have a shower, you have a bath. Afterwards you have breakfast and take train to work. If you don’t have a seat, you have to stand. If you have a newspaper, you read it, but if you haven’t, you have a glimpse at your neighbour’s paper. The problem is that, just when you are interested , he turns over the page and you haven’t time to find out the end of the story.

If the train has a breakdown you have to think of lots of things to pass away the time: why has that man got his hat on his head and his hand in his pocket? Why has everybody a serious face? Why is this 1994, why not 1440 or 1550 or 2525?

When the train arrives late, you have no time for that quick cup of coffee you usually have in the café next to Central Station. At the office the telephonist has several messages and the boss has a long face. Finally, at lunchtime you have a break but again in the evening you have a lot of work. If you don’t have time to finish everything the boss is angry but you remind him you have a train to catch.

At home you have dinner but you don’t have time to watch your favourite TV programme because you have work from the office to finish. Finally after having a day like this, when you get to bed you hope you don’t have a nightmare!
