Analysis of A valueable life.



A valueable life.

A herd of cattle,
Was grazing in a dry land.
The grasses were not abundant,
as the rain was inadequate.

Now they had to go,
to the north for grazing
as there was a big grazing ground,
full of green grasses.

But there was a curse,
between the dry land and the grass.
They had to cross a small stream
which was infested with crocodiles.

They had no alter.
So they proceeded,
towards the dreadly stream,
to go to that green  grass land.

During their long journey,
they were pestered by fles,
and became thirsty.
So they desperately needed water.

Thousand and thousand of cattle,
going towards the river,
The cattle in first row,
Was forced by the behinder.

After reaching on the edge,
of the unfateful strem,
one or two from the first row,
started to drink water.

The fatal nuisance waiting,
for the opportunity.
Suddenly he cought one of them,
and dragged to the middle.

As the sharpe jaws were,
busy with victim.
The others got the oppertunity,
to cross the river safely.

In this way,
in lieu of sacrifies of life,
one opend the oppertunity,
the others to survive.
