Black-out or Brown-out
We use the term black-out to mean a widespread loss of electric power. This usually
Happens during uncontrollable situations such as when lightning or tree branches hit electric wires
during storms. It also occurs after a total electric shot down due to an overload on the units that
generate electricity.
Brown-outs on the often hand, are confined only to certain small areas. They are
sometimes scheduled and announced in advanced by an electric company when it is necessary to
save energy or enable its crews to perform maintenance work. But brown-outs can also be caused
by fires, floods, man-made accidents such as a vehicle hitting an electric post or late getting
entangled with power line or construction-materials falling on these lines.

THE JELLYFISH JOURNEY

Once upon a time, the king of the dragons who was an old bachelor took it into his head to get
married. His bride was a young dragonette just sixteen years old- lovely enough to become the wife of
any king. The wedding caused much rejoicing. The fishes both great and small came to offer gifts to the
newly wedded pair. For many days there was feasting and merriment.
But alas, even dragons have their trials. Before a month has passed, the young dragon queen fell
ill. The doctors gave her every medicine that was known to dragons, but none helped her. At last, they
said that there was nothing more to be done. She would probably die. But the sick queen said to her
husband, “I know of something that will cure me. Get me a live monkey’s liver and I shall get well at
once.
“A live monkey’s liver!” exclaimed the king. “What are you thinking of, my dear? You forgot that
we dragons live in the sea, while monkey’s live on land far away among the forest trees. A monkey’s
liver! My darling, you must be mad.”
The young queen burst into tears, “I have asked you for only one small thing,” she whispered,
“and you won’t get it for me. I wish I had stayed at home with my own m-m-m-mama and my own papa-
a-a-a.”
The dragon king did not like to have it thought that he was unkind to his beautiful young wife.
So he sent for his trusty servant, the jellyfish, and said: “I have a rather difficult task for you. I want you
to swim across the land and persuade a live monkey to come here with you. Tell the monkey how much
nicer everything is here in Dragon Land than where he lives, so that he will be willing to come. What I
really want him for is to cut out his liver to use as a medicine for the queen.”
So the jellyfish started off on his strange errand. In those days, he was just like any other fish,
with eyes and fins and a tail. But he had little feet also, so that he could walk on land. It did not take him
many hours to swim across the country where the monkeys live. Fortunately there happened to be a
monkey jumping about among the branches of the trees near the place where the jellyfish landed.
“Good morning, Mr. Monkey,” said the jellyfish. “I have come to tell you a beautiful country
where the weather is always pleasant. There are plenty of ripe fruits on the trees, and there are none of
those mischievous creatures called men. Will you not get on my back and let me take you there?”
The monkey thought it would be fun to see a new country. So he jumped on the jellyfish’s back,
and off they started across the water. When they had gone about halfway, he began to fear that there
might be some hidden danger. It seemed rather odd for jellyfish to come so far to carry a stranger home
simply to see the country.
 “My Jellyfish, why did you think of coming for me?”
“My master, the king of the dragons, sent me to get you,” answered the jellyfish.
“He wants to give your liver as medicine to the queen.”
“Oh, that’s your little game, is it?” thought the monkey, but he kept his thoughts to himself, and
only said, “Nothing could please me better than to be of service to the king and queen. But I left my liver
hanging on a branch of that big tree where you first saw me. A liver is heavy to carry about so I generally
take mine out and play about without it. We shall have to go back for it.”
The jellyfish agreed that there was nothing else to do. The silly creature did not see that the
monkey was only fooling him in order to save his life and his liver.
When they reached the shore again, the monkey bounded off the jellyfish’s back and was up the
tree in less than a minute. Then he said: “I do not see my liver here. Perhaps somebody has taken it
away. I will look for it. Go back and tell your master what has happened. He may become very anxious if
you did not get home before dark.”
So the jellyfish started home. When he told the king of the dragons what happened, the king
was so angry and said: “Away with this fellow. Take him and beat him to a pulp. Do not let a single bone
remain unbroken in his body.”
The officers seized the unfortunate jellyfish and beat him as the king had commanded. That is
the reason why, to this very day, jellyfish have no bones.
When the young queen found she could not have the monkey’s liver, she made up her mind to
get well without it.
