i remember when moose  had given me the bread . it fed my family for three days the first day we had plain bread the second . me and Lucas had gathered dandelion greens and flowers to eat with it . and the third was when Lucas picked berries and killed a rabbit .  it was that third day the woods became our savior it fed us and kept us warm , because of the wood for the fire and animals . without it we would have died long before now . i always checked and double checked the plants to make sure they were safe to eat . one wrong mouthful and you're dead . i remember my first tessaray . on may fourth i signed three papers bringing home  three years worth or oil and grain one batch for each family member . as the years went on the number of times i entered my name tripled . i knew the danger and continues to enter my name is the reaping bowl . it kept my family away from starvation . if it weren't for moose and those two loaves of burnt bread . i would have never lived to sign up for the tessaray . i remember the months after i started bringing home grain and oil . my mother slowly came back to us , but i was the only one keeping us alive . i thought i would never be able to forgive her . for the months she put us through . the neglect , and the starvation . i understood what she was going through after losing my father in the mines . i came to forgive her . i thought of how hard i worker to keep us alive and remembered . i was going to die without any of that work being put onto tab or repaid .
