My favorite story:

I was born to a mother who was a  farmer. As a child she taught me the top rows is for seeds. I watched as other villagers plucked the top row. She begged them to stop and they wouldn't. She told me she could no longer fight against her sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews and was going to leave the world. Before she left she gave me all she was wearing. At the age of three my mother passed away telling me "good luck, kid". I tried to tend to the farm but the carrots that were suppose to be seeds kept being plucked. I knew if I stayed I'd die from hunger. I packed up my mother's backpack with carrots and a basket and ran as far as I could from the dying civilization. In my 15 year travel I had 3 kids. I had a problem wth keeping them alive with no food and only wild bushes. I decided to head home,hoping the idiots died off. it took me another 15 years and only 1 girl survived. We came back and only my 1st cousin had survived the famine, but was close to death. When we got there my daughter asked what can i do? I said build the farm. AND SHE DID!! I made what pies i could with the left over resources, to fuel her while she did. I had a few more children (don't remember how many) I killed all the boys that were born to me and my 1st cousin's babies. To stop famine from happening again. Except one, he ran from me before I could get the chance. When he was grown he made pelts and pies. I was so proud of the son I  tried to kill. I was surprise he choose to stay. When he knew I only fed him when I tried to ditch him in the woods or when he stood in front of his baby sisters. He was a smart one! He deserved to live!! I had 3 daughters and 1 son. I decided I was happy. I went to my eldest daughter and gave her all i wore. Being beyond proud of her. I told her I was and I told her the name of the village. I will keep that name hidden...as my kin will only know the name.  hope to be reborn there.
