The night before the rite of passage was to be performed, the male relatives and community would dance and sing all night in costumes and masks, awakening the boys consecutively to parade them around in the ritual. Before they were about to be “killed”, the mothers would sorrowfully feed their sons a “Last Supper” as if they were still infants. Shortly thereafter, the boys were marched down to a clearing known as the “place of dying”, and suddenly attacked by the guardian males, who held each boy down and circumcised him. Upon having their wounds fully healed, they were then allowed to return unto their village as men.

All of her looks her broad hips reflect her tramp side. Her personality is big and clever. She is everything a woman should not be. She lacks ethics that girls of that time were supposed to have had.

When the fisherman looked around the lake, he saw no other colored fish swimming around like he saw earlier that day. “This must be a bad sign for the King,” said the fisherman to himself. The fisherman walked to and arrived at the throne of the King. There sat the King in a gleaming golden robe, he was surrounded with massive piles of golden coins and laughing with his viziers. “Oh fisherman, you’re back, where is my new gifts of fish?” happily said the King. “Here O King, I have brought you a fish, different from what you have seen before, but I must warn you, it may be more of a curse instead of a blessing to you.”, replied the fisherman. “Nonsense fisherman, give this fish to me,”, replied the King. “Yes King, but heed this warning first, it is said that troubles don’t come as expected but rather comes when one is relaxed and is at peace.” The fisherman reluctantly gives the King the clear fish and then the King suddenly begins to shrink. “No, what is happening to me?!”, shrieked the King. The King shrunk to the size of a small stone, the clear fish opened its mouth and a jar and cap came forth from it. The King was sucked in a whirlwind into the jar and the cap was sealed onto the jar, then the jar slowly rolled out of the palace, until it rested at the bottom of the
