Ali was a skilled hunter. No animal could escape his eyes. The moment he saw any rabbit or partridge it was as good as in his bag. But then suddenly his life changed. His daughter Miriam got married to a soldier and went to live in Punjab with him. Ali got no news of her after that. He became sensitive and realized the meaning of love and separation. He could no longer enjoy a sportman’* pleasure because he felt that the animals and the birds must also have the same feelings and he stopped hunting. He could understand the grief of the parents of the hunted animals, the pain they went through after getting separated from their young ones.
