When the general, nursing his bruised shoulder, had gone, Rainsford took up his flight again. It was flight now, a desperate, ho

peless flight, that carried him on for some hours. Dusk came, then darkness, and still he pressed on. The ground grew softer under his moccasins; the vegetation grew ranker, denser; insects bit him savagely. Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back, but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech. With a violent effort, he tore his foot loose. He knew where he was now. Death Swamp and its quicksand.

To have a house that you can call your own is one of the biggest achievements that a person can accomplish. To achieve that goal, you will have to harness three kinds of resources. The first is your natural resources or this could be the building materials you are going to use to construct your house. It can wood, clay or cement, steel and other related materials. Then you need human resources. These are the people who will build your house. These are the carpenters, bricklayers, welders and other laborers who are needed to create your home. Lastly there is the capital goods or things you will stock your house with such as food, furniture and other things that you value. Once your house is complete, you will now enjoy all the comforts of home. It is not easy to build a house these days. A lot of people would want a house of their own. To have a home no matter how big or how small is a great thing. This is true when you give all that you got. One is sure and that is the fact that there is no place like home.
