Answer the following questions briefly.

Why did Ali give up hunting?

Ali was a skilled hunter with amazing eye-sight and clever enough to spot his prey before his hunting dogs could smell it. He was very devoted to his sport and grew more skilled daily. When he neared his old age, his only daughter Miriam, married a soldier and left to live in his regiment. He was left alone and miserable since he had no news of her for the last five years. He lost interest in hunting. The earlier pleasure that he felt while hunting along with his skills were also forgotten because the pain of separation had made his life meaningless. He began to reflect deeply and focused on nature to find solace in his loneliness.
