Every day I walk
   w
   . 
down the streets of my town.
    
    , 
Im a grown up man now
     
     . 
and I live a very quiet life.
     w 
     
I have a friend 
   
    . 
he works in a school.
 w   
  . 
He is a teacher.
   
   , 
We are old friends,
w   
     
though we never were
 w  w
   
close enough 
 
    , 
he was an active boy,
 w  
 , 
full of energy,
  
   , 
and I was lazy
  w 
 ()  
and I always
  w
  
liked to dream
 
 () . 
about my future.
  
    , 
I still keep on dreaming,
    
 () , ()   
nd I think I will dream
    w 
  . 
all my life.
  
   
My friend likes
  
, 
to travel,

    . 
but he doesnt like to dream.
    
   
He is always surrounded by
  w  
  .
maps and guidebooks.
  
    
He has the biggest
  
 
collection

  . 
of Europes road maps
   
()  - . 
I have ever seen.
   
   , 
Id like to travel,
   
  , ,  , 
and I would certainly do it
  w   
     
if I were not
  w 
 . 
so poor.
 
  , 
We both think
w  
   
that I should
  
   , 
start my own business,
   
     . 
but Im always short of money.
  w   
   
My friend often
  
 : 
asks me:
 
   () - ? 
Do you have any
   
  ? 
plans for your future?
   
  
Try to change
  
 !. 
your life!.
  
  , 
I dont know
  
   . 
what to say in response.
w   
    
I would eagerly start
 w  
  ,  
my own business, but
   
  , 
Im too shy
  
t  
to ask
 
  
my friend
 
  
to lend me
  
 . 
some money.
  
 ,   , 
Besides, Im not sure
   
()    
whether he will give me
 w  w  
 ,  . 
this money or not.
   
  ,   
In any case I must
    
 , 
stop dreaming,
 
     
and I have to be more
     
   
responsible for my
  
 . 
own life.
  
   ,  
I can not forget that
   
  
God gave
  
 , 
it to me,
  
    
and that I may not
    
  
spend it
 
 . 
for nothing.
