How a day of work ends ...

Since early childhood I have been told not to run for two rabbit at the same time.

But this applies for elevators too? Even for 4 elevators?

Imagine you leave your office and you are calling the elevator at your floor. And you wait ... you wait ... you hear colleagues from the building getting impatient ... in a few seconds we see them running down the stairs cursing the damn elevators ... 4 elevators and none of them stops at any floor ...but you try over and over again pushing the button ... and you wait ... and you don't feel like rolling down the stairs, you're just too tired ... and when you hear suddenly the beep of one of the elevators, you run faster and faster to catch it ... you think that you are lucky ... you think it's a miracle ... finally, you are in front of the open doors and you want to jump inside ... but hey there are way to many people inside ... crowded ... the smell of another tired people at the end of the day it's too much to bear ... and you quit ... you go back to the spot in the middle of the corridor ... no air conditioned ... you breathe hot air ... you feel helpless ... and then you feel you are happy again ... another elevator stops ... again you run ... but again other people all crowded inside and you don't feel like sharing the place with them ... and again you return to your place and wait for another elevator ... and when you think you should roll down the stairs, here comes the third elevator ... EMPTY!

"run for two rabbit" - rabbit-tzim sau rabbit-tsiot? :P

hei, acum am vazut ca am uitat sa adaug S la plural, dar fiind vorba numai de doi iepuri folosim pluralul oltenesc - deci, e doi iepuri monsher!
Pai in lift erau si "iepurim" si "iepurot", si iepuroaica de mine n-a vrut sa se alature iepurimilor si iepuroturilor bastinasi - tupeu!
sa iepurim deci ;-)

Rabbit = ARNAV (ארנב)
Rabbits = ARNAVIM (ארנבים)
Rabbit Doe = ARNEVET (ארנבת)
Rabbit Doe(s) = ARNAVOT (ארנבות)

for such a minor mistake, I need to kill myself reading romanian?!
lucky me the word plural is as the same as in english...

Boaz, I forgot to add the plural ending for rabbitS.
As I told April - in the elevator there were both arnavim and arnavot ;-)
we use the hebrew plural to romanian nouns to make fun - that's why you have iepurim and iepurot.
normal romanian: iepure - iepuri (male rabbit) & iepuroaica - iepuroaice (female rabbit)
