"The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry is a light, fun and comical story. Though the story is on kidnapping and taking the ransom for a young boy “Johnny Dorset”, but the mood in the story is light. This is because Bill and Sam, the kidnappers are dumb and idiots. Johnny is the devil’s child, he makes the life of kidnappers very miserable. This leads to comic ways in the story.
Funniest part is when Johnny’s mother, Ebenezer Dorset agrees to take her son back only if Bill and Sam pay her.
In Africa, there are many exciting animals. The tundra is a hub for hundreds of different animals; zebras run in herds across the grass, lions chasing after them. In Zimbabwe, the most well-known area is Lake Victoria. Here elephants gather to drink water, the liquid reflecting their faces and distorting them as the sun gleams off the surface. In nearby trees, bulbuls and finches chirp merrily while antelope graze nearby. The African tundra is home to an innumerable amount of unique species, making it one of the most beautiful places in the world.
