Advertisements
उत्तर
The lifeboat was three and a half feet deep, eight feet wide, and twenty-six feet long exactly. It was designed to accommodate a maximum of thirty-two people. But just the presence of three (i.e.) Zebra, hyena, and the tiger along with him made it appear that the boat was already crowded. In the lower part, there were many orange lifeboats and packaged drinking water kept in a closed box.
