VII. Brief Summary of the Story

In the beginning of the story, the orphan girl dreamed about a

beautiful woman who warned her to leave her place. The girl did not act
upon on it. On the dawn of the third day, a giant spider approached her
and reminded her about the dream and so the girls quickly put her
clothes and start running. As soon as they reached the well, the spider
had pointed out the direction to where the girl should flee and so she fled
up the path he had pointed out, for she was now filled with terror.
Quickly, the manamat chased her until she reached the top of the ridge.
On the second day, she saw a hut from where a young man lives and
because of exhaustion, the girl fell on the floor. One of the manamat tried
to seize the widow’s son by the waist, but receiving a great blow and so
was killed. The fight went on between the serving man and the widow’s
son on opne side until all the latter were killed, save the chief the
Gunluh, whose name was Makayaga. The sultan heard about the orphan
girl and sends a representative to ask her hand for his son but the
widow’s son refused. The sultan asked his men to kill the widow’s son but
the shareef and the wise men reminded him that he should not kill the
widow’s son. The marriages were arranged between the widow’s son and
the orphan girl and the sultan according to the line of his hands, will
marry a beautiful woman in Mecca.

VIII. Moral Lesson:

1. It is not right to kill.
2. If you love someone you should do the right thing to win the love
without hurting some people.
3. Even if you have the power you should use it in the good way.
4. If you do well to others, it will also be replaced with something
good.
In sociology and biology a population is the collection of inter-breeding organisms of a particular species. A population shares a particular
characteristic of interest most often that of living in a given geographic area. In taxonomy population is a low-level taxonomic rank.Human
populations can be defined by any characteristics such as mortality, migration, family (marriage and divorce), public health, work and the labor force,
and family planning. Various aspects of human behavior in populations are also studied in sociology, economics, and geography.Study of populations
is almost always governed by the laws of probability, and the conclusions of the studies may thus not always be applicable to some individuals. This
odd factor may be reduced by statistical means, but such a generalization may be too vague to imply anything. Demography is used extensively in
marketing, which relates to economic units, such as retailers, to potential customers. For example, a coffee shop that wants to sell to a younger
audience looks at the demographics of an area to be able to appeal to this younger audience.

a. All of the people inhabiting a specified area.

b. The total number of such people.
2. The total number of inhabitants constituting a particular race, class, or group in a specified area.
3. The act or process of furnishing with inhabitants.
4. Ecology. All the organisms that constitute a specific group or occur in a specified habitat.
5. Statistics. The set of individuals, items, or data from which a statistical sample is taken. Also called universe.

Rural areas can be large and isolated(also referred to as "the country," and/or "the countrysideover the course of time. According to William
Howarth, author of “The Value of Rural Life in American Culture,” rural communities were dominant in the beginning of the twentieth century, with
the majority of the population living on independent homesteads. However, the rise of mechanized farming caused the population to shift, and in
1920 the census reported that urban populations exceeded 50 percent. Today 75 percent of the United States' inhabitants live in cities and suburbs, but
they only occupy 2 percent of its land mass. Rural areas occupy the remaining 98 percent.[1] About 90 percent of the rural population now earn
salaried incomes, often in urban areas. The 10 percent who still produce resources are generate 20 percent of the world’s coal, copper, and oil; 10
percent of its wheat, 20 percent of its meat, and 50 percent of its corn. The efficiency these farms is due in large part to the commercialization of the
farming industry, and not single family operations.[2]Overpopulation refers to a condition where an organism's numbers exceed the carrying capacity
of its habitat. In common parlance, the term usually refers to the relationship between the human population and its environment, the earth.[1]

Overpopulation is not a function of the size or density of the population. Overpopulation is determined using the ratio of population to available
sustainable resources. If a given environment has a population of ten, but there is food or drinking water enough for only nine, then that environment
is overpopulated; if the population is 100 individuals but there is enough food, shelter, and water for 200 for the indefinite future, then it is not.
Overpopulation can result from an increase in births, a decline in mortality rates due to medical advances, from an increase in immigration, a
decrease in emigration, or from an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources. It is possible for very sparsely-populated areas to be
overpopulated, as the area in question may have a very meager or non-existent capability to sustain human life (e.g. the middle of the Sahara desert or
Antarctica).The resources to be considered when evaluating whether an ecological niche is overpopulated include clean water, clean air, food, shelter,
warmth, and other resources necessary to sustain life. If the quality of human life is addressed as well, there are then additional resources to be
considered, such as medical care, employment, money, education, fuel, electricity, proper sewage treatment, waste.Some countries have managed to
substantially increase their carrying capacity by using technologies such as modern agriculture, desalination, and nuclear power. Some economists,
such as Thomas Sowell[2] and Walter E. Williams[3] have argued that poverty and famine are caused by bad government and bad economic policies,
and not by overpopulation. In his book The Ultimate Resource, economist Julian Simon argued that higher population density leads to more
specialization and technological innovation, and that this leads to a higher standard of living. Simon also claimed that if you look at a list of countries
ranked in order by population density, there is no correlation between population density, and poverty and famine, and instead, if you look at a list of
countries ranked in order by government corruption, there is a huge correlation between government corruption, and poverty and famine.[4]Others
argue that overpopulation is an important cause of these problems.[5][6]/////Some of the present methods proposed and practiced are: legislation
restricting how many children a family can have, contraceptives, sterilization, sexual abstinence, permanent celibacy, deliberately induced abortions,
infanticide, euthanasia, homosexuality, delayed marriage, sterilization of the retarded, war, fatal disease inducement upon certain portions of the
human population and etc.

If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.Albert
Schweitzer: There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.Albert Schweitzer: Joy, sorrow, tears, lamentation, laughter -- to
all these music gives voice, but in such a way that we are transported from the world of unrest to a world of peace, and see reality in a new way, as if
we were sitting by a mountain lake and contemplating hills and woods and clouds in the tranquil and fathomless water.Albert Schweitzer: There are
two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.Henry David Thoreau: When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no
foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.Hunter S. Thompson: The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic
hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.John Adams: I must study politics and war that
my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history,
naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary,
tapestry, and porcelain.Louis-Ferdinand Céline: To hell with reality! I want to die in music, not in reason or in prose. People don't deserve the
restraint we show by not going into delirium in front of them. To hell with them!Percy Bysshe Shelley: Our sweetest songs are those that tell of
saddest thought.Plato: The gods who have been appointed to be our companions in the dance, have given us the pleasurable sense of harmony and
rhythm; and so they stir us to life, and we follow them, joining together in dances and songs.
