black cat coming to me. How would you feel if you see a black cat on the street? Well, I said: ok, it
is just a cat, and I kept walking, and I started waiting for the bus. Then, this car passed really fast,
and the street was wet because of the rain, and I got completely wet. Yeah, I took a shower of dirty
water. I don't know, I think it may be a bad luck. What do you think? Do you believe in those things,
