Rap vs. R&B The definition of music is defined differently between each individual. Some people define music as the blend of silence and sound. The definition musicians have for music usually depends on what style or genre of music they make.

The story is a really good story confusing but humorous. At first‚ as you go reading‚ the story gives you a different idea of what is going to happen in it. Muni‚ the Indian village‚ wasn’t a wealthy man but he had his cattle to live on‚ but as it cattle went dying he was just left with 2 goats.
