Read this excerpt from "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. Which two lines reflect the theme that men must never go against fate?

He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. Mrs. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously. "And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table. "It had a spell put on it by an old Fakir," said the Sargeant-Major, "a very holy man. He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it." "And did you really have the three wishes granted?" asked Mrs. White. "I did," said the seargent-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth. "And has anybody else wished?" persisted the old lady. "The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply, "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw." His tones were so grave that a hush fell upon the group.

"He [the Old Fakir] wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. "

-Note: We see the theme that 'people must never go against fate', here in: "[The Old Fakir] wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives..."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The first man had his three wishes. Yes," was the reply, "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. That's how I got the paw."

- Note: "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death". Using the paw's magic itself interferes with fate, as while 'fate' gives it to people, generally one shouldn't use something for their own purposes. This would lead to them going against fate itself, depending on what they choose.

Answer:

<em>by showing a group of children intently listening to Iqbal</em>

Explanation:

Iqbal Masih was a Pakistani boy, who, at the age of 4, started working in inhumane conditions, as a part of bonded labor, to repay his family's debts.

For six years he worked for a local carpet factory owner, until he finally escaped and, with help from some children rights organizations, got an education and started spreading the word about child labor in Pakistan.

His words encouraged many children to fight against this illegal work. Because of his bravery, children respected him and listened to everything he said.

QUICK make a creepy story out of the sentences
prohojiy [21]

After I explained, I looked at the officers face. He had his head down, but i thought he was smiling. "Uhm, excuse me Mr. Officer? Did you hear what i said?" He then looked up and i screamed. It was the thing i saw earlier. I fell to the ground, not able to get up and run. I crawled back and all the lights burst. The last thing i saw was his red eyes and teeth shining.

sorry if its not long
