You'd better get rid of her before she makes any more mistakes.' She's just young, 'I said. 'We were all guilty of making silly mistakes at her age. 'Even as I spoke, I wondered if I was right. Reading Comprehension Nikki was our newest employee. She had started work in my department a month ago, and if I were honest about her, she wasn't doing very well. There was nothing wrong with her attitude. Indeed, she was enthusiastic about everything, and seemed intent on pleasing everybody. Of course that made it easy for some of the other girls in the office to give her a hard time. She was such a charming kid, I was sure that one or two of our staff would be jealous of her. Maybe some of our recent disasters were not really Nikki's fault at all, I thought. My colleague spoke again. You're just an ostrich, she said. You can't bear to admit what everybody else can see. The girl's a walking disaster zone. Mark my words!' An ostrich? 'I thought. Ostriches are famous for putting their heads in the sand, thus making themselves blind to anything threatening, but ostriches know what's best for them. Sound travels well in the ground. By putting their heads in the sand, ostriches can hear danger before they be able to see it. O.K. 'I replied. 'I don't mind being an ostrich. This ostrich believes that Nikki's going to be all right.
