The clover The four-leaved clover brings the luck to the owner, it’s popular omen. It is kind of hard to find it, only one of 10 000 clovers born with four petals. I remember two cases in my life when I found them. The first case was occasionally, I just went off from the car in my city, looked down to the ground and saw little meadow full of clovers, and I had thought maybe there can be “lucky one”, and it was there. I found it in few seconds! The four-leaved clover and it was not the “fake clover”. However, a few months later I lost it in the book which I borrowed to one friend. I hope she is lucky too now :) In the second case, I went with special intention to find it, in the countryside near the forest. I didn't think that I’ll be lucky again, but I found it in 40 min! It looked like it wanted to be found. It pulled his thin, green neck toward the road, so it was easy to spot it. I gently put it in the bag and went to the home, put it in the one old book, return to the city after few days but... forgot that book with the clover in the village with my relatives. Well, I hope they life became happier too. Two lucky clovers and both for others, after that I started to think maybe I’m “luck bringer” too. Ha-ha. There is a picture of the second one:

The stick When I was at my 8-10 years I used to be in my grandmother’s village every summer. I loved this time. I played with my friends the whole day, we explored everything around, went swimming, ate wild berries, played different games. It was a lot of fun and joy. I came back to home only for dinner or supper, I was outside until sunset and a little bit more. However, sometimes I was alone and had to entertain myself. I invented some simple and curious game for me. In some place of the village, I took one wood stick and threw it in the sky. When It fell to the ground I looked where pointed the sharp end of the stick, and went this way straight until I would find something interesting. Once it was broken toy, another time it was a coin, some insect or rodents' house or just some metallic detail from somewhere. It could point to the fence with the angry dog behind also or just to the tree. I liked this game, maybe it looks silly now, but it was a little adventure for me each time. I miss those sunny, carefree days.

The She (short story) She points the gun to him. He doesn’t blink, he stays calm. She trembles, tears are falling on her face, anger fills the whole body. Light pressure on the trigger and she’ll take revenge for her brother. Will she feel relief or not, unknown. Her life will be changed forever. It will stay with her, it will become part of her essence. But she doesn’t think about it, anger and hate in her eyes. The time is frozen and each second like the eternity.

The best coach When I’m doing something on the computer and get tired, I decide to do some stretch or warm up exercise. It is effective, I get energy and feel better. But after few repetition it gets boring. Well, I found good trainers instead of this routine. Richard and Betty always enjoy to help me and their program is very simple, effective and aimed to the whole body muscles. I just should chase them until they hide and then they start to chase me. During this exercise, I fall to the floor few times, which is definitely stretch a lot of muscles. They're swift so I must run very fast and it warms my blood. The program also includes balance exercises, I feel it on the sharp turns. My furry, deft and cute “meow” trainers know what to do and I like them very much.

This day It was a rainy day. I walked along the street to the shop, drops fell to my umbrella and did calming sounds. The stream ran down the roads. The air was so fresh, like in the forest. Then I took a deep breath and felt sweet relief in the whole my body. I liked it. I looked around and felt as if everything was connected to each other like in one big live picture.The houses, people, cars, trees, cats. It seemed the rain unite all things together and I felt myself like a part of something bigger. I stopped for this magic moment then fell with one foot to the puddle and continued my way.

The short story Jack stand at the edge of the Iceberg. He looks forward and sees only freezing desert. He is exhausted, he didn’t see anyone after that shipwreck. The despair almost devoured him. Abruptly the ice under his feet creaks splits and he is starting falling down under the surface into the wild, dark, icy hell. He covers his face with hands trying to protect himself from icicles which fly to him from each side. It seems that this tunnel has not end, the light becomes dim and almost disappears. The despair replaced with deep fear, heart beating increased to maximum, adrenalin heats the almost frozen blood...Jack wakes up. The disease retreats, he feels it.

The spring's aromas In the warm, sunny day Susan and Michael were sitting on the bench in the park. The apple trees and lilac were blooming. There was strong, astonishing aroma in the air. Susan was looking around at the all beauty and enjoyed this lovely day. She feels so happy that she wanted just to skip all the way across the park. Then she stood up and invited Michael to her joyful mood with a gentle gesture of her hand. However, Michael was staring at his phone and didn’t notice anything. He was like a frozen statue, only a few fingers were doing strange movements on the screen surface. Susan dropped her hand back and a cunning smile appeared on her face. Then suddenly she snatched the phone from the hand of Michael, run away to the glade full of dandelions and chortled. Next, she threw the phone aside and yelled: “Fetch!”. After few seconds of shock, Michael widely smiled, spring out and chased after Susan. They stumbled, fell down to the grass and loudly laughed and started to throw flowers to each other. Somewhere the phone was resentfully beeping while the aromas of blooming spring were mixing with sincere happiness and love.

The Sevens Seas The pirates were very cruel and bold outlaws. Every ship that left the wharf was unsafe and can be robbed. It was very dangerous and unsettling time. However, pirates had some rules too: 1. No Fighting: On the pirate ship they were not allowed to fight to each other or dispute things in a violent way. Every issue should be resolved on the shore. 2. No Games: Any form of gambling (for money or doubloons) was also forbidden aboard the ship. 3. Bedtime: despite their reputation as savage people, pirates also had a regime and had to go to sleep at 8 PM. Because a tired pirate was a bad pirate. The punishment was harsh: pirates who didn't follow the rules were marooned on a desert island without food and water. Without any trees to get shade, any fruit to pick, or any animals to catch for food. Only two things were handed to the traitor: a bottle of rum and a pistol.

The birds secret It was almost sunset, the light of the sun was falling from the side, making soft shadows, nature appearing in all its beauty. I was walking along the country field with my little sister. Silhouetess of birds sat on electric wires and preening their feathers. Then my sister asked me: - Teacher told us, that if a man will touch this electric wires he will feel huge pain and can get to the hospital...Why birds sit there and nothing happening for them? I thought for a few seconds. I knew that there must be some physical law but I forgot it and just said to my little sister: - Because birds fly during the whole day and become very tired. They need an energy, that is why they sit there. They are charging their batteries from that wires. Look how that bird shakes! It's almost fully charged! My sister and I looked at each other and instantly loudly laughed, the echo spread through the fields, and the birds flew away.
