       It was days or even weeks since I had been left on the island.  My only companion was
a dog called Philly which had survived the shipwreck. Memories of what happened were
still fresh.
     The magnificence of the ship had given us all a false sense of security. As the first
signs of the storm started, our captain announced it’s nothing much, just another storm.
Yet, he was wrong! The storm hit the ship so badly that large holes were made at the
sides of the ship. As the freezing water started rushing in, our ship was consumed quickly
by the dark water.
      My train of thought was disturbed by Philly licking my hand dearly.  Are you hungry?
I spoke my first words ever since the shipwreck occurred.  Woof, woof! Barked Philly
enthusiastically. At this moment, my stomach gave a loud growl, too. I could not
remember when my last meal was, probably a ten-course dinner on the ship. As I had
never fished before! I thought maybe I could try something simpler, like picking fruits.
With Philly at my side, armed with a sharp branch, we walked into the forest on the
island together. Suddenly I thought I heard noises. Could there be anyone else on this
island? I wondered. As we were looking for fruit trees, we chanced upon one that bore
yellow, juicy-looking fruit. Philly started barking-we had company, It was a dark-
skinned woman, holding a sharp spear, dressed in fur and grass. I backed away from her,
afraid that she would be aggressive. Then, I saw that she was trying to save us. Pointing
her spear at the fruit tree, she shook her head strongly.
I nodded at her to show I understood what she was saying.  Signaling to us to follow
her, she turned to walk along a small path that I had never noticed. At the end of the
small path, there was a small village,  Tears of joy filled my eyes.

      Happiness is in your genes, it seems, according to a research that shows the more
people in a country who have a particular gene, the happier the nation will be. The FAAH
gene, the DNA in question, makes a protein that affects feelings of pleasure and pain.
People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.
     The researchers believe that the finding can help explain why some of the world's
poorest nations are also the happiest. The team from Bulgaria looked at whether there was
a connection between the level of the FAAH gene in a population and the number of people
who said they were very happy in the global study of life satisfaction. Sweden, one of the
happiest countries in Europe and in the world, has lots of happy DNA. Some 26. 3 per
cent of Swedes have the happiness gene, compared t0 23 per cent of the British, 21 per
cent of the French and 20 per cent of Germans. The happiness gene is even rarer in
southern Europe, where it is found in 18 per cent of Greeks and just 12 per cent of
Italians. In contrast, the people in Iraq and Jordan are among the least likely to rate
themselves as very happy and also have the lowest levels of the gene.
     But the gene and optimism don-t always go hand in hand.  For instance, Russians
score very low on happiness, despite having the right DNA, the Journal of Happiness
Studies reports. Climatic differences are also found to be closely associated with national
differences in happiness. Study co-author Michael Minkov said, "We can notice the high
