How did Pi feel after drinking water?
Advertisements
उत्तर
After drinking water, he felt great. A sense of well-being quickly overcame him. His mouth became moist and soft. His skin relaxed. His joints moved with greater ease. His heart began to beat like a merry drum. Blood started flowing through his veins like cars from a wedding party honking their way through town. Strength and suppleness came back to his muscles. His head became clearer. In fact, he felt like returning from the world of the dead to life.
