Imagine waking up one day and finding that you are the only survivor of a plane crash in the deep heart of Africa
Imagine waking up one day and finding that you are the only survivor of a plane crash in the deep heart of Africa. and imagine that to your amazement, the Queen of the tribe herself is interested in your quick and complete recovery. her reason, you later find out, is her viewing you as the god’s timely answer to her latest dilemma. you see, she had a very beloved white whale pet, Shammooee who brought her luck and prosperity that she kept in a huge private and elaborate pool. the tragedy is that Shammooee passed away not too long ago after a long and painful illness. the queen was very saddened by missing her pet and was only consoled by baby Shammooaa, yap, you guessed, Shamooee’s only offspring.

soon, shammooaa is the obedient and playful fish; ready for any commands including jumping through fire circles, throwing balls and dancing with her tail in the air, and you on her majesty’s magnificent ship heading home.

In the above case, the most vital thing is to have the capacity to condition Shammooaa the fish to have the ability to carry on in the way that the ruler needs. In this case, it is notable that Shammooaa behaves in a very bad manner when she does not get what she wants. This is a clear indication already that she knows that the way that she can be able to get the type of food that she wants is to be able to behave in a bad manner. As explained, it is already a trend that the villagers have to be able to give her what….
