It was at the airport , I was to
pass through the passage to the waiting hall when I saw a bookstand with many
books on display. Of all the volumes only one little pamphlet caught my
attention. Boldly written in Red as the caption, ‘‘IT’S A SERIOUS MATTER.’’
I paid for a copy and thereafter
boarded the aircraft. While asking myself what this serious matter could be, I
curiously began to read, and this was the content:
There was this very prosperous
city on an island. Everything went on fine for its inhabitants. Their political
climate was most suitable and their economic policies were excellent. But one
day, they woke up to discover that the sea around them was flowing its bank at
an alarming rate.
