  2. Famine Times

    Share Share Post
    There was not many people living in the time of the famine. They all died with hunger. At first there came a brown spot on the potatoes: then they withered away. They rotted away. Then the people could not eat them. There was not much to give to the animals. There was a good lot of the animals died.
