But one islander,Herrol,whos a fisherman,also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image.“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun,” he says,“because when its sunny I cannot see to do my work.” But if being truly color-blind is rare,why is it that around 10%of the population of Pingelap lire in a totally black and white world?Well,we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was all but wiped out by a tsunami.As few as 20 people survived,one of whom was the king.Its believed he had a genetic fault that causes color-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations. There is one advantage.Herrol can see well,really well,in the dark.So when it gets dark,Herro1 and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish.They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames.“This type of fishing is fun,” Herrol says,“especially if we catch plenty.So even though its hard work we enjoy it.”32.What is Pingelap famous as?A.A tiny island B.A color-blind islandC.A mentally troubled island D.

Because the kings genetic fault played a role.D. Because the king made a serious mistake 35.
