She was looking for  a silk Scarf that  will match the dress she bought in a Indian shop. At last she came to the shop  called Moghul Boutique, and Mrs Nebo saw a silk Scarf that would match the dress perfectly and she was so anxious to get it. Unfortunately, Mrs Nebo did not have enough cash to pay for the scarf and she requested to pay with a cheque and the shopkeeper (Mr Sakur) refused to take in the cheque. He defended him self by pointing at the cardboard  which was written "No credit, No Cheques, Cash only". Mrs Nebo was offended by the notice and she said that she won't  leave the shop without the silk Scarf.

My first log-in experiance for blog.

  When I had that we are going to create a blog account I was feeling   nervous. I did n't have any idea of what blog  look like. I had experience a lot of problems when I started due to the fact that i did not have a Google account , nor did I even   knew how to create one. Afterwards when I got my Google account I was happy because I could see some advancement.At the beggining of filling in to get started I have almost gave up it was annoying seriously. it was realy irritating with checking my mistakes. I was so impatient and edgy to wait for my code that could permit me to get through. I did not know what to put on the space of the address bar, and I had to ask my colleague of which I know that I was quite disturbing him. When I saw a notice written start blogging.  I was relieved. I would like to say thanks now that I  got through this side is fun and entertaining .However it was not easy.
