There are some common things between animals and humans. The top two are food and reproduction. While there are many other common denominators one thing stands out. While in the animal world, the preys are usually herbivores and the predators are carnivorous. There are exceptions. Even the plants are fodder for the herbivores. But then how do the human and animals compare in this arena?

My dad was working as... Mom was working too as a ... I have two elder /younger siblings. I was schooled in ... where I passed out with good grades... I did my engineering/ et at ... I have interned in You actually can finish of your life story in 2 minutes. More if they enquire about it.

Bertie Wooster, that delightful young chap with a penchant for trouble, found himself in a jolly old pickle once again. This time, his old friend Gussie Fink-Nottle had invited him to the prestigious Gussage Manor for a weekend of merriment. Little did Bertie know, he was about to step into a world of shenanigans that would make even the most seasoned valet blush. As Bertie arrived at Gussage Manor, he was greeted by a rather peculiar sight. Gussie, donning an extravagant feathered hat and a pair of ill-fitting trousers, approached him with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Bertie, old bean!" Gussie exclaimed, "You're just in time for the annual Gussage Manor Egg Hunt!" Now, egg hunts were not uncommon to Bertie, but this one was rumored to be a rather extravagant affair. The prize?
