Gorilla Woman in Slave Trade 3

West Africa
16th Century
Night

Spaniard slave merchant JESE RAMOS made his way through the dense vegetation of the West African jungle to emerge into a clearing where ten Spaniard soldiers stood around the fallen form of an 8ft African woman...with a voluptuous and muscular dark ebony body...clad only in a tiny white gorilla fur panty that barely covered the space between her giant dark ebony thighs...her muscular dark ebony arms flung past her head...her thick muscular dark ebony legs spread wide open below her thick shapely waist...her large erotic bare dark ebony feet resting on the hard earth ground of the jungle...wide spaces between her sexy toes with short glossy clear toenails...her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts rising and falling slowly... with each deep relaxed breath that she took...her glossy red lips parted...her eyes tightly closed...her beauteous face framed by a mane of long glossy black tousled hair.

"Well done...The curare has worked well on the huge nipples and huge areolas of the GORILLA WOMAN...The tales of her giant breasts...being her source of great strength...and her source of great weakness...were true...the Big Breasted African is unconscious and shall stay this way for one day...
Bind her and take her back to our camp...She will be made docile to serve the Kingdom of Spain...before she is sold with the other African slaves we have captured!!" ordered the 50 year old Spaniard...as he brushed his long white beard.

His dick stiffened under his pants as he watched the ten darts that were stuck in each of Gorilla Woman's naked giant firm dark ebony breasts...making her broad glossy black areolas and big puffy glossy black nipples...which kept them high...hard...and erect...like the mountain ranges of West Africa as...her dark ebony hands and large erotic dark ebony feet were bound around her wrists and ankles by iron chains...and it took five Spaniard soldiers to lift her 8ft voluptuous and muscular dark ebony body above their heads and carry her off into the jungle....the African slaves she had freed from the Portuguese opium farm...totally unaware that she was captured and headed off into a new adventure and new peril.

Next day

At the village of the Makongo tribe in the jungles of the vast domain of West Africa... the teenage boy JOJO...was returning from one of his hunting trips into the jungle. His dick stiff below his loincloth as he daydreamed about the mighty Gorilla Woman...imagining her 8ft voluptuous and muscular dark ebony body...only clad by a tiny white gorilla fur panty...her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts swaying freely...the muscles of her amazing body in action as she effortlessly dispatched the evil white slave traders and their African allies...who tried to sell him and people from other tribes into slavery...taking them far away on great ships away from their homeland in West Africa.

He wanted to boast to KUNTA...the 20-year-old daughter of the tribe's chief M'BONO...about how he helped Gorilla Woman saved some natives who were captured by Portuguese slave traders' days earlier. JoJo was baffled as to why he couldn't find her in the village..and he knew better than to bother the Chief about his daughter's whereabouts...knowing that he gave her free reign to do whatever she pleased as he was often busy with the tribe's elders and warriors...trying to ensure the white invaders did not capture any of the tribe's members and sold them as slaves.

"They have nothing to worry about. Gorilla Woman will defeat the white men...even if they're able to use their weapons and drugs on her huge breasts to make her sleep. Gorilla Woman must like me to tell me about her weaknesses. She must be on a great adventure right now" thought JoJo as he headed back to his hut to get some rest before going back into the jungle...hoping to find himself in some danger that would cause the Big Breasted Black Giantess to come and save him.

Next day.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH" cried Gorilla Woman in absolute agony...wiggling in futility as she was repeatedly flogged across her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts by a Spaniard with a bullwhip...as she dangled helplessly from a tree branch...her muscular dark ebony arms extended above her head...tied together at the wrists by a strong rope at one end...while the other end of the rope was tied securely to the trunk of the tree...that was located in the camp of the Spaniard slave traders who had ambushed and captured her...after she had freed some African slaves from their Portuguese rivals a day earlier.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...MY GIANT GORILLA BREASTS...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
BEING BEATEN...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...PAIN...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
BEING BEATEN...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH... IN MY BIG GORILLA NIPPLES...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
...IN MY BROAD GORILLA AREOLAS...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...PAIN...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
...IS KEEPING THEM...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD
...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...STRENGTH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...STAMINA...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
..SPEED...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...OF 40...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...GORILLAS....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH
...GONE...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...GETTING WEAK...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...GETTING SLEEPY
...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH" cried the Big Breasted Black Giantess as the Spaniard soldier flogged her all over her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts...beating her broad glossy black areolas and big puffy glossy black nipples into hardness and erectness....under a blazing sun in the sky over the dense jungles of West Africa in the camp of the Spaniard slave traders who had captured her.

Spaniard slave merchant Jese Ramos took a drink from a bottle of wine...as he looked on with amusement and arousal...his dick stiff and hard under his pants as he watched his soldier flog Gorilla Woman mercilessly across her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts...until there were multiple bruises all over their smooth surface...her big puffy glossy black nipples and broad glossy black areolas...hard...erect and traumatized from the blows.

After a lengthy spell of beating...Ramos ordered the soldier with the whip to withdraw while he approached the beaten Big Breasted Black Giantess as she hung helpless from the tree branch...her large erotic bare dark ebony feet about three feet off the ground...her sexy toes with short glossy clear toenails...pointing down to the ground...struggling to stay curled with tension and close together.

"You are correct Senorita Gorilla Woman!! I have heard tales about you African!! I shall not underestimate you like my foolish rival Joao Caminha did.

He motioned to a second soldier who approached the beaten Big Breasted Black Giantess who could do nothing but stare in sleepy fear as he came towards her with a heated iron rod.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...Nooooo...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh...Nooooo...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh...What is that??...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh
Keep it away...Nooooo...Do not put it on my...AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
...AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
...AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
..AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" roared Gorilla Woman in absolute agony...writhing frantically and in futility in mid-air as this Spaniard soldier pressed the red hot end of the iron rod right in the middle of her thick matted glossy black pubic jungle between her giant firm dark ebony thighs...burning her right on her giant glossy black clitoris...to the arousal and amusement of Ramos and the other Spaniards in the camp.

After pressing the hot iron rod between the giant dark ebony thighs of the Big Breasted Black Giantess for several minutes...the soldier removed it on the orders of Ramos. "UUUH...UUUUH...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
...UUH...UUUH..UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...UUUH...UUUH...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
...UUH...UUUH...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH"
moaned Gorilla Woman as the sudden removal of the hot iron rod and the contact of cooler air against the scorched space between her giant dark ebony thighs...caused her to powerfully orgasm ten times in quick succession...multiple waterfalls of thick white cum being discharged from her traumatized and tortured giant glossy black cunt...leaving her dangling helplessly before the Spaniards....and powerless to do whatever they wanted to do to her.

The 8ft tamed and tired Topless Top Heavy African Heroine could do nothing except dangle from the tree branch she was hanging from as two more Spaniard soldiers approached on either side.

Each of them held wooden bowls under each of Gorilla Woman's naked giant firm dark ebony breasts.

"UUUUUUUUUH...WHAT IS IT??...
UUUUUUUUUUUUH...STRANGE SCENT...UUUUUUUUH...KEEPING
MY BIG GORILLA NIPPLES...MY BROAD GORILLA AREOLAS...HAA
...HAAA...HAAAAAAAAAAAAARD
...UUUUUUUUUUUH...KEEPING ME WEAK...TIRED...THOUGHTS OF SEX...THOUGHTS OF SLAVERY...
HAAAAAAAAARD...TO RESIST...
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH"
moaned Gorilla Woman as she inhaled the powerful fumes coming from a dark grey solid-liquid substance in the bowls.

" You have no choice but to submit Big Breasted African!!...We know all about your huge breasts!!...You are powerless from the opium that has made your big nipples and wide areolas aroused...You shall submit to the special aphrodisiacs that will make your sexual desires overwhelm you...You will soon be under my control!!" laughed Ramos as he watched the helpess and naked Gorilla Woman dangling helplessly from the tree a branch she was tied too...as two soldiers held wooden bowls containing a grey solid liquid paste ...directly under her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts...fumes from the bowl waftimg over her broad hard glossy black areolas and her big puffy hard erect and bullet-shaped glossy black nipples and into her beauteous face framed be her long mane of tousled glossy black hair.

The Big Breasted Black Giantess heard the sound of African tribal drums...saw erotic images of African men and women having sex...and heard the voice of the great Gorilla God.

"Your big Gorilla Nipples and broad Gorilla Areolas are hard...You must fall under the power of the evil white man...
Submit to your weakness for sex...your weakness to become a slave" commanded the voice of the Great Gorilla God...which only Gorilla Woman could hear.

"UUUUUUUUUUH...YES...UUUUUH
...I HAVE BEEN TAMED BY THE SPANIARDS...UUUUUUUUUUUUH
MUST LET THEM DEFEAT ME...MUST BECOME...THEIR SLAVE...UUUUUUH...UUUUUUUH"
moaned Gorilla Woman...her brown eyes barely open as she stared sleepily at Jese Ramos as he stood on the ground looking up at her.

"Excellent...You shall breathe the fumes of the opium and tell us how to make you our slave!!" commanded Ramos.

"UUUUUUUUH...YES...UUUUUUH
UNDER POWER OF SPANIARDS' OPIUM...UUUUUUH...MUST OBEY
...PUT OPIUM...APHRODISIACS...
ON MY BIG HAAAARD GORILLA NIPPLES...ON MY BROAD HAAARD GORILLA AREOLAS...ON MY GIANT HAAARD WET CLITORIS...UNTIL I AM KNOCKED OUT...WILL STAY UNCONSCIOUS FOR ONE DAY...WILL BE YOUR SLAVE...WHEN I WAKE UP...UUUH
...UUUUUH...UUUUUUUH...TO KNOCK ME UNCONSCIOUS...LET THE FUMES OF YOUR DRUG COVER MY BIG HAAARD GORILLA NIPPLES...MY BROAD HAAARD GORILLA AREOLAS...MY GIANT GORILLA CLITORIS..." moaned Gorilla Woman as she told her captors how to tame her.

" As you wish big breasted African...you will now let your erotic desires overwhelm you and put you to sleep...when you awaken...You will be the slave of the Spaniards...Do you understand?" asked Ramos rhetorically as he ordered one soldier to hold his bowl of opium and aphrodisiacs between Gorilla Woman's naked giant firm dark ebony breasts...while the second soldier held his bowl of opium and aphrodisiacs between her giant dark ebony thighs.

"UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...THE GREAT GORILLA GOD...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
COMMANDS ME...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...TO BE CAPTURED...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
BY THE SPANIARDS...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...THE FUMES OF THEIR OPIUM...MAKE MY BIG GORILLA NIPPLES...MY BROAD GORILLA AREOLAS...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD...SO...HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD
OPIUM FUMES...MAKE MY GIANT GORILLA CLITORIS...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...WET...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH
EXCITED...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH...CANNOT RESIST...I MUST...UUUH...HAVE TO...UUUUH...GOING TO...UUH
...UUUH...UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH" moaned Gorilla Woman as she simultaneously lactated...geysers of white milk shooting out from the tips of her big puffy glossy black hard erect and bullet-shaped nipples...and powerfully orgasmed...waterfalls of thick white cum cascading from her giant throbbing hard wet and excited glossy black camel toe-shaped cunt between her giant dark ebony thighs.

"Put the opium and aphrodisiac paste on the Big Breasted African's big nipples and broad areolas...and on her giant clitoris...She is ready to be knocked unconscious" ordered Ramos and the two soldiers carried out his orders...putting the grey paste in their bowls on the sexy summits of Gorilla Woman's big puffy hard erect and bullet-shaped glossy black nipples and broad hard glossy black areolas...and on her thick matted glossy black pubic jungle and on her giant glossy black clitoris...quickly becoming hard as stone...covering both of these super erogenous parts of her 8 ft voluptuous and muscular dark ebony body...as she hung helplessly from the tree branch.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuh...my big haaard Gorilla Nipples...My broad haaaard
Gorilla Areolas...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh
My giant haaaard and weeet Gorilla Clitoris...Uuuuuuuuuuuuuh
being covered...by Spaniards' drug
...air is making it...haaaard...as stone...Uuuuuuuuuh...weak...tired
...must become unconscious...for a day...will wake up...as slave of the Spaniards...it is the will...of the Great...Gorilla...God...Uuh...Uuuh
...Uuuuuuuuuuuuh" cooed Gorilla Woman...the sound of African tribal drums beating in her ears...her brown eyes closing...as her head sagged between her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts...her voluptuous and muscular dark ebony body became limp...wide spaces appeared between the sexy toes of her large erotic bare dark ebony feet...with short, glossy clear toenails...as she found herself dreaming erotic thoughts about the teenage boy JoJo as she succumbed to unconsciousness for another day.

Two days later

JoJo was making his way back to the village of the Makongo tribe after being away hunting in the bush.

His dick was stiff and erect under his loin cloth as he daydreamed about his heroine crush...the mighty Gorilla Woman...thinking about her 8ft voluptuous and muscular dark ebony body...especially her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts...imagining what it was like to touch them.

His daydream was interrupted by the sounds of white men's voices coming from nearby.

Jojo followed the sounds of the voices to make a surprising discovery.

He saw Gorilla Woman...totally naked...thick hard grey pastes covering her giant firm dark ebony breasts...and the space between her giant dark ebony thighs...her muscular dark ebony arms moving rapidly as she used her strength of 40 gorillas to dig away at the side of a rocky hill...forming a natural mine...with Jese Ramos and six Spaniard soldiers looking on.

"Go into the mine Gorilla Slave!! Keep digging...Bring back the precious stones inside!!" ordered Ramos.

"Yes Master...I must obey" replied Gorilla Woman...a blank stare in her brown eyes...her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts swaying sexily as she marched into the mine and the sounds of digging was heard.

JoJo watched with growing awe and arousal as he watched the Big Breasted Black Giantess enter and exit the mine that she had carved out of the hill...bringing back piles of diamonds...rubies...and emeralds and laying them at the feet of Ramos.

"Gorilla Woman has been enslaved by the Spaniards...I must save her" thought JoJo...feeling excited at the thought of saving his heroine crush from danger...and her rewarding him by letting him touch her famous bust. The teenage boy's distraction made him oblivious to the fact that he had been discovered and two Spaniard soldiers were coming up behind him.

One struck JoJo behind the head with a wooden club.

"UHHH" groaned the teenage boy as he fell face down to the ground and passed out immediately.

Hours later.

JoJo woke up to find himself on the ground in the camp of the Spaniards...close to a small dam they made...to provide water for their camp.

He saw ten soldiers standing around him in a circle. In the middle of the circle...stood their leader Jese Ramos and Gorilla Woman...who stood at attention with her muscular dark ebony arms at her sides...her thick muscular dark ebony legs close together...a vacant stare in her brown eyes.

"Gorilla Woman!! You have to stop these Spaniards!!" cried the teenage boy as he jumped to his feet.

JoJo was surprised when the Big Breasted Black Giantess slapped him across the face...knocking him back on to the ground to the amusement of Ramos and the other Spaniards.

"Amuse us Gorilla Slave...Beat this native boy!" ordered Ramos.

"Yes Master...I must...obey..." replied Gorilla Woman as she approached the teenage boy as he scrambled to his feet.

JoJo tried to run but the Spaniard soldiers blocked everywhere he went...driving him back towards the hypnotized Gorilla Woman who kept flinging him around like a rag doll...causing him to land hard on the ground repeatedly to the amusement of Ramos and the Spaniards.

Getting groggily to his feet...JoJo saw the hardened grey paste covering the sexy summits of Gorilla Woman's naked giant firm dark ebony breasts and the space between her giant dark ebony thighs.

He realized this was responsible for her being under the control of the Spaniards.

Seeing the small dam nearby and that the Spaniard soldiers surrounding him and Gorilla Woman had the cast iron grenades which he had seen other white slave traders...JoJo came up with a bold plan to rescue Gorilla Woman and himself.

Evading Gorilla Woman's lunge as she tried to grab him...JoJo snatched a cast iron grenade from the belt of one of the Spaniard soldiers who was standing nearby...laughing as the enslaved and hypnotized Big Breasted Black Giantess tried to grab JoJo.

Only Ramos became aware too late of what the teenage boy was doing.

"NO" yelled Ramos as he watched JoJo hurl the grenade into the small dam nearby...causing it to explode...sending a flood of water sweeping through the camp...engulfing them...Gorilla Woman and JoJo in its wake.

As he flailed about in the flood waters that wrecked the camp and destroyed the mine the Spaniards were taking precious stones from...Ramos was shocked to see Gorilla Woman clad in her tiny white gorilla fur panty...her naked giant dark ebony firm breasts cleansed of the opium and aphrodisiacs which had put her under his control...pulling JoJo out of the water...then effortlessly felling his soldiers with a series of punches and kicks...causing them to flee into the jungle.

Ramos tried to flee but the Big Breasted Black Giantess caught up with him.

"AAGH" groaned Ramos as he felt the ball of her large left erotic bare dark ebony foot driven into the middle of his back...sending him crashing into a tree...and collapsing to the ground.

Their camp and their mine destroyed...the defenceless Spaniards fled into the jungle...afraid to face Gorilla Woman...whose super powers were fully restored.

Gorilla Woman paid no attention as she led JoJo away from the Spaniards' camp...on a different trail through the jungle...knowing the Spaniards were no threat to them.

Her naked giant firm dark ebony breasts swaying freely and sexily as they walked through the jungle...Gorilla Woman felt tingles of warmth in her big puffy glossy black nipples...in her broad glossy black areolas...and her giant glossy black cunt under her tiny white gorilla fur panty between her giant dark ebony thighs...as she looked at JoJo walking beside her...the bulge of his stiff erect dick framed against the fabric of his loin cloth.

She couldn't deny she had erotic feelings for the teenage boy...who she only saw as a friend in her regular identity as KUNTA...20 year old daughter of the chief of their tribe.

"Thank you for rescuing me from the Spaniards JoJo. That was very brave of you" said Gorilla Woman with a smile.

"I'm not brave and strong like you Gorilla Woman. I'm scared off all the evil white men" replied JoJo...
feeling awed in the presence of the 8ft Topless Top Heavy African Heroine.

Gorilla Woman placed her left dark ebony hand on the teenage boy's left shoulder and they stopped walking.

She placed her right dark ebony hand on JoJo's left shoulder and turned him to face her...as they stood face to face alone in the jungle.

"No JoJo.You are braver than you think. The white men know of my weaknesses in my giant Gorilla Breasts and in my giant Gorilla Cunt. They will always find ways to capture and enslave me. But the Great Gorilla God has chosen you to be my mate. We are bound together...for life" said Gorilla Woman as she pulled the teenage boy close to her...their bodies pressing against each other...and kissed him passionately on the lips.

When their lips parted...JoJo stood blushing the presence of the Big Breasted Black Giantess...who smiled at him...as she looked at the affection for her in his eyes...and the bulge of his stiff erect dick against the fabric of his loin cloth.

"Come on JoJo...Let's go home" quipped Gorilla Woman as she picked JoJo up...put him on her back...flexed her giant dark ebony thighs leapt into the air...grabbed hold of a vine and swung away into the tree tops.

Neither of them knew they were being watched.

GLADYS VON BOMMEL...40 year old Dutch slave trader lowered her telescope as she watched Gorilla Woman swing away with JoJo.

" That big breasted African has been ruining the slave trade...She has thwarted the Portuguese and the Spaniards...but they didn't have the advantage I do...I know how to truly defeat and tame the Gorilla Woman!" declared Gladys...as she made an entry into her journal...pondering how she would capture the Gorilla Woman and sell her for a lucrative price.

To be continued.
