The Letter
Why did Ali give up hunting?
Ali was a clever hunter. His eyes were very sharp that he could see a creature hidden behind the shrubs. Ali's eyes would catch the sight of his ears and in the next moment it was died. He enjoyed the bewildered terror of the young partridges. But now he had understood the meaning of love and separation. His daughter had left him and was living with her husband. And the father wanted to hear from her before he dies.
