There have been plans for some time now to build a /very/ large skyscraper in chicago, which is much taller then the sears tower. The only thing they waiting for is to get a plot of land that would be suitable for the project.

"Not evrey one who rides a horse is a good rider"

"there are special men for the difficulties"

"Discover the fact from the discription of the evidence"

"Write on the surface of the water and there is someone who wrote before me"


its very hard to translate it, its a poem. And arabic poems a very difficult to understand,

specially when some one trys to translate it to english for example then its a big problem.
and if you do succeed in translating it then a lot of it would not make so much sans like you can see above. Rolling Eyes
