 Did you know that Pearls are the product of pain? 



Every  pearl is the consequence of an oyster that has been hurt by a grain of  sand that has entered its interior.


 An oyster that hasn't been hurt  can't produce pearls. In the inner part of the mollusk is a substance  called ′′ nacar ′′ and when a grain of sand accidentally penetrates into  the inside of the oyster's valves, it covers it with thousands and  thousands of layers of nacar to protect itself.



 As a result, a beautiful  and brilliant pearl is forming. I mean, pearls are nacar cysts that  form the molluscs to isolate a strange body that has entered its body.  


Although its size is very small, the world's largest pearl weighs 34Kg, a rareness that was found on Palawan Island with priceless  value.

 How did Africa lost the Art of taming the wild and harnessing the forces of nature,' almost completely?  Ethiopians even up to 1930's were still keeping lions the way dogs are kept as pets..  And they went to war with these wild creatures. Historically, much can be said of this and what shall we tell our children and next generation about the lost of African glory?  Things falling apart!
