| What went wrong? Okando the Boa Constrictor in thought |
Okando the Boa Constrictor now understands that a fool at forty is a fool indeed
Okando, the famous hunter, lived to such a great age that he was no longer able to go into the forest and chase the deer and the leopard. Life had no other pleasure for him than hunting, so he went to a magician and asked for some charm that would enable him to continue his occupation.
The magician gave him two pots, each containing a charm. Every day Okando dipped his head into the first pot and was at once transformed into a boa constrictor. In his snake form, he glided into the forest and hunted to his heart’s content. At night he returned and dipped his head into the second pot, and so became a man again.
This went on for a long time without the knowledge of the old hunter’s family, but when at last they chanced to discover the secret, they were filled with horror, and his son in a rage kicked at the pots and overturned them both.
Okando was at that moment hunting in the forest, and when he returned to his house and found the magic pots overturned and empty, he was filled with dismay, for he had no means of regaining his human form. For some days, the boa constrictor glided about near the house, seeking for a few drops of the charm, but in vain, and at last he disappeared into the forest and was never seen by his family again.

Sahara desert dust storms and the transition of thunderstorms off the west coast
of Africa. The waters in the North Atlantic Ocean are typically at their
warmest while the Sahara is at its hottest from July through October, so the
chances of a hurricane are highest during these months.
Hurricanes
are gigantic weather systems using convection, the movement of hot and cold
air, to create dangerous storms. They are rotating heat engines powered by the
warmth of tropical waters having three main parts, the eye, the eyewall, and
rainbands.
Hurricanes cannot form just anywhere in the world due to the need
for hot and humid air. They normally form close to the equator and move west or
northwest. Hurricane Alley is a stretch of warm water through the Atlantic

Survival of the Fattest Meaning
The copper statue Survival of the Fattest by Jens Galschiøt and Lars Calmar was created in 2002. The fat woman is holding a pair of scales as a symbol of justice however; she is
closing her eyes so the justice. Galschiot symbolized the woman as being blind, refusing to see the obvious
injustice.
