OK, so after flying and walking on water, now the poor creature is on the curtain. What's next?
------- you can't just say, "a little kindergarten teacher is on the curtain" ? . . .
I think it is because in this example, the curtain is kind or the subject. Whereas in your example the teacher is the subject. I'm not hungarian but finnish, and our languages work similarily in this regard: "Verhossa on opettaja" = "There is a teacher on the curtain" "Opettaja on verhossa" = "A teacher is on the curtain"
------- duo accepted: a small kindergarten teacher is on the curtain . . .
