i've always wanted to become a time traveller. time travelling rocks! i'd like to go to the past. i can meet alexander the great, botev and levski, cleaopatra, hitler, vincent van gogh... that'd be cool, i'm telling you - to spend an entire day with van gogh for example. or any other person from the ones i've already said. but here comes the struggle - people won't be willing to pay me for going back in time, simply because to them i'm, well, useless. but i may have an idea. a solution. i can be a delivery boy (a delivery girl in my case). but no, i won't be an ordinary delivery girl. what am i actually talking about? okay, i'll try to explain you. close your eyes now, it's story time. no, actually keep your eyes open because you won't be …show more content…
