will whisper.”<br />

enough resources, more than half the people lived in poverty, AIDS was<br />
rampant, babies dies too often and everyone else dies too young.”<br />
� “What if a queen<br />
� remained<br />

� “You are the most valuable asset. Don’t forget that. You are the best<br />
thing you have.”<br />
