Popis: We study the lifts of the closed curves in the bouquet of $n$ circles to a finite sheeted normal covering. For a class of normal covers, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a closed curve to lift. As a consequence, we prove that a free group with $n$ $ (\geq 2)$ generators can be written as the union of subgroups of index $l$ where $l=2,3$.
