I woke suddenly from a nightmare. I remembered something about being devoured by spiders, but the dream melted into my subconscious. I sat in a cold sweat, shaking from the remnants of the dream.

I slowly pulled myself up from the patch of ground i was on. When i was on my feet i walked to my door. "I was Thirsty" I thought suddenly. I wandered past the forked tree. Slowly i approached the nearby lake. I examined the area and noticed that there were no hostile mobs around. I checked my hunger bar; it was a shank less than full.

I drank deeply of the water than looked back at my house. To my surprise i could still see it. It stuck out like a sore thumb! I shook my head and walked back over. I looked around and noticed a buildup of mud right next to the shoreline. I went over and grabbed a filled my arms with mud. I walked back to my house laden with mud; i sat it next to my house and started applying it to the felled trees.

Around an hour later my house was completely covered in mud. I went back towards the lake to get some more water. As I drank I thought of the multiple cows I had seen racing along the volcanic plains. If i could catch one napping, I would have a ton of food.

I walked towards one of the nearest Volcanic plain and waited for one to slow down and sleep. I noticed that most of the cows were in such hurry that they probably wouldn’t want to sleep, I moved to a much bigger field. There were more cows than i could count! I examined the field and found several prime targets outside of the normal circumference that the rest of the cows occupied.

Slowly I approached one of them. I looked around but still no mobs had spawned. I took my hatchet and busted in one of the cows eyes, I Covered my ears as it started bleating extremely loud. I reached in but found little food. My fingers grasped on a papery bag, just as i noticed a pair of zombies running my way.

I grabbed the papery bag and ran from the volcanic field. "The Zombies can run now!" This realization struck me down as i entered the forest. "They are going to move against my base soon!" I shook my head and continued towards my house.

When i was halfway back to my house my hunger bar was nearly empty. (Two Shanks left!) I remembered the bag i held in my hand. I looked at it and saw a yellow face on it; shaking my head i opened the top of the bag and found it full of food. Twelve slabs of meat covered by a type of bread. I was rich.

I got back to my house with my food. And collapsed on my patch of dirt I used as a bed. With the realization that this food and the rabbit would last a while i started making plans for setting up a mine. First i would need a pick.
