It had been over a week now, it's the day that mum usually goes to get food for us all. I wake up and look at mum, she's still asleep. I sit there looking at her for about ten minutes. She can't possibly go and get our food and drink, she's not well enough, she's the one that needs food and drink.
I start to get a bit emotional. The only way we can get food and drink is if I get it. It's totally impossible! I'm just a kid, I can't go and get the food I'm too weak. I then think about mum, she's too weak too, I can't make her go and get our drink and food. That's just CRUEL. I've got to do it! I thought. I can't just make everyone ill because of my selfishness, but I'm not selfish I am weak too, I can't just travel miles and miles whilst a drought is going on can I?.... But neither can mum.. Or anyone else. Oh God! I do have to go!
My eyes start to well up with tears, sweat runs down my back as I think of this quest that I have to go on to feed the living. I try my hardest to motivate myself into doing this.
"I can do it!" I whisper to myself.
I CAN DO IT!!
