Thank you, . You really made me smile, but I know I can be

boring with my stories.

You know, you made me feel somehow like the raven in the fox and the

raven, do you know it?

" This raven was on the top of a tree about to bite into a big piece

of cheese he had stolen from a farmer. (By the way, I didn't know

that ravens were fond of cheese, but a hungry raven is possibly

capable of eating anything.) The fox saw it and since he was still

hungrier than the raven, he called out to him:

- Mr Raven, I was told that you have the most beautiful voice in the

forest. I have come all my way just to hear you sing. Do me this

favour.

Of course the raven was flatterred (actually, ravens make very ugly

sounds, you know) and wouldn't miss the oportunity to show his innate

talent. As he opened his mouth to sing, the raven dropped the chunk

of cheese, and of course the fox grabbed it. "

Don't worry: I am not associating you with the fox. Your compliment

felt sincere. It is just that I always feel embarrassed with a

compliment and I must give something in return.

Cheers,

José
