Answer:

(B) if we ask for too much, we may lose what we have.

Explanation:

In "The story of Baba Abdalla," we meet Baba Abdalla, a man who is extremely greedy. He meets a blind man who is the complete opposite. He desires very little in life. When the man promises to lead Baba Abdalla to a treasure, he fulfills his promise. However, Baba Abdalla is not happy, and he continues to ask for more. Eventually, he even takes away a potion from the blind man. Although the blind mind warns him that the potion will make him go blind, he is too greedy to not take it. The potion indeed makes him blind, which causes him to lose all his fortune. The story teaches us that if we ask for too much, we may end up losing what we have.

This is the story of Baba Abdallah. The plot explores the dangers of being in greed. Orphan from a young age, Baba achieved success through camel-renting business. One day, he met a dervish who reveals Baba a secret about hidden wealth that could make both of them richer. That dervish took Baba to the treasure in exchange of his forty camels. Baba agreed. They then loaded the camels with all treasure they could carry. But, while on his journey back home, Abdallah was struck with greed for more. He then asked the dervish a few camels back so he can bring more treasure; the dervish agreed. But, unfortunately, the voracious nature took over Baba and he then wanted to possess the magical ointment too. The dervish warned him not to use the ointment as he might go blind, but, drenched in greed, Baba disobeys and lost his right eye. His greedy nature made him blind as well as poor because he was not even able to continue his business.

This short explanation of the tale can easily support the simple message, which is:

(B) if we ask for to much, we may lose what we have.

Read this passage Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein 1 passed a night of In the morning I went to the court my lips and ‘ throat
ahrayia [7]
The narrator in Frankenstein is Victor Frankenstein. As this paragraph is taken out of context one can only assume that he is the one talking (as the narrator). First person- Person speaking Second person- Person being spoken to Third person- Being spoken about
So looking at this text we can conclude that it a someone speaking so that gives us first person.
 Therefore that would make this first person (victor).

Hope I helped! Let me know if you need more help or would like further explanation! :)
