He bought the barren island for $13,000 Together with a friend, they planted 16,000 trees For 40 years, the island turn into a sanctuary Of insects, flowers, birds and tortoises which became Famous and well known throughout the country He turned down offer being a news editor and settled The rest of his whole life living in the island He manage the island well and made it An important place in his private life The island grow well with his own management The Saudi prince want to buy the island for $10 million But he refuses the offer for personal reason Until, one day he announced and open it to the public The island became an important tourist destinations People flocked and flourished the island He died with old age in the island The country declared the island as a National Park In lieu of his stated Last Will.

Supposedly true, Darlene. But, mind you this is a private island own by an individual. However, in the end, the island became a National Park open for public. Anyway, thank you Darlene for you time. Love lots here./Hugo.
