The Power of Diamonds

 When I decided to go to Pretoria, the capital of Republic of South Africa, I was warned of the danger of Malaria. I was said that Malaria was spreading easily and quickly in Africa, because the atmospheric temperature was abnormally higher than usual. However, It couldn’t change my mind to go there, so I went to Pretoria. When I arrived there, many people only wore diamonds on their underwears, because the sparkle of a diamond prevented from approaching of wild animals. My travel guide told me that actually a tiger attacked people, because they hadn’t worn diamonds. That anecdote made me scared. One day I was walking around in the national park. Suddenly something came out from the bush. It was a lion, so I took out my emergency diamond from my pocket and throw its sparkle on the lion’s face. the lion got frightened at the luster, ran back into the bush.
