There's a popular book in Poland called "Mr. Kleks Academy". It's a bit Potter-ish to say the truth: the Professor, Mr. Kleks teaches his young and eager students how to fly a carpet or understand the speech of dogs. When I was young I desperately wanted to attend the school some day. Unfortunately, only those whose name started with "A" had a chance to take part in this ecceptional educational adventure.
My parents gave me the name of Michael. At six, it caused me to fall apart from them a little :)
Now, when I'm 19 I come to realise that I shouldn't have quarelled with them... My second name is Antony :)
