Winter had arrived, Yum was pregnant, cross and very hungry which was bad because food was in such short supply.
Dum was hungry,
Yum was very hungry and her tummy was quite round but her face was thinner and
they were reduced to eating the dying leaves were still left of the trees that
just gave them the impression they were filling their stomachs.
Each day Dum
would take his baskets out with him to put any food he could find in them which
was very little for even the sea was less productive.
He couldn’t catch
the birds on the sea shore and sat despondent with his basket with a few
shellfish in the shallows to keep them fresh as so many stank when he got them
home.
He wandered along
the shore collecting some seaweed that was edible when it was washed in the
stream near their cave and then went back to the basket.
To his surprise
there was a fish in it nibbling at the contents so Dum quickly grabbed the
basket and lifted it up with fish still in it; now they could eat a fish tonight!
I couldnt figure how youd accomplish this one in just 6 sentences...well done
ReplyDeleteWe are watching the evolution of man take place... six sentences at a time! How fun! I'm suspecting that Dum was duly rewarded for improving the dinner fare that night! A grouchy, pregnant wife is not so fun to come home to! :-)
ReplyDeleteHm...sushi, or do they have they learned how to cook?
ReplyDeleteLove your description, details and only 6 sentences.
