Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 28-11-2019: Chad

28th November, 2019.

You know, I have to admit to being up early.

Frankly?

I’ve a meeting at the Job centre at 9:30.

Mostly one that sets up the course I’m supposed to go on.

So I was up at six.

Half an hour before that … ?

Someone rang my doorbell: the one on the main door of the building.

At five thirty.

Who was it?

Why did they ring?

Why were they there?

I’m blowed if I know.

I’m not answering the door at that time of the morning …

Chadian Proverb.

And some traditional music …
