One of the most popular tales of the Bible depicts the great flood that destroyed every mortal except Noah and his family and the animals on his ark. Should there be a repetition of that disaster, there is one place where all the biblical animals are already gathered. The man to be commended* for this novel collection is Professor Aharon Shulov, a zoologist at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel.
Professor Shulov appointed himself a committee of one to search out the 130 creatures mentioned in the Old Testament. This zoo’s occupants are crocodiles, camels, apes, peacocks, deer, foxes, and sheep, some of whom had to be imported from other lands. They are settled in suitable quarters on a twenty-five-acre site in Jerusalem. Visitors to the zoo not only get to view and feed the animals but are also treated to quotes from Bible verses that encourage the study of the Good Book and teach morality amidst the waddling of the ducks and the wailing of the wolves. Not surprisingly, the children have the final* word at a special corner of the zoo called the Garden of Eden, where animal cubs roam freely, attracting the attention of hundreds of youngsters who visit daily.

The Quarters of Fate
In the mystical realm of Eldoria, a place where the lines between the mortal and the supernatural were intricately woven, a legendary storyteller named Elara possessed the ability to depict the future through her captivating tales. Eldoria was a novel land with ever-shifting landscapes, and its occupants sought guidance from Elara’s prophetic words.
One fateful day, the ruling council of Eldoria decided to appoint Elara as the Seer of the Quarters, each quadrant representing a different aspect of the realm’s destiny. Elara’s task was to unveil the intricacies of each quarter and guide the occupants toward a harmonious existence.
As Elara began her duties, she discovered an ancient site hidden in the heart of Eldoria, a place where the past, present, and future converged. The site held the key to deciphering the cryptic quotes and mystical verses that foretold the realm’s fate.
However, as Elara delved deeper into the mysteries of Eldoria, she faced a moral dilemma. The revelation of certain prophecies could lead to unrest and chaos among the occupants, challenging the delicate balance of morality in the realm. Should she expose the complete truth or selectively share the prophecies to maintain harmony?
As Elara wrestled with her decision, whispers of her abilities began to attract both admirers and skeptics. Some revered her as a savior, while others deemed her a threat. Elara, torn between her duty and the consequences of her revelations, chose to roam the realms in search of a solution.
The tale of Elara unfolded like a gripping novel, where destiny hung in the balance, and the choices of a single individual could reshape the fate of an entire realm. The Quarters of Fate awaited Elara’s final decision, as the threads of prophecy and the tapestry of Eldoria intertwined in a dance of uncertainty and destiny.
