Once upon a time the people of Defaka were set on ....... journey of exploration, and it came to a point when things were extremely difficult for them. Then their leader asked ‘Defaka, are we giving up or not?’ And they answere ‘We are not giving up.’ From thence they continued in unity and hence survived to keep the Defaka as solid as it is. This is the end of my story. Thank you. |
