cascade

“Yeah, I still don’t want to eat a fly,” I said after Carrie finished her speech. “I bet if you were starving, you would eat a fly,” Jenna said. “I once read a story about an old man who got lost in the woods. He had been walking with his family to a waterfall, and while his family was looking at the cascades, he wandered off the path and got lost. He tried to find them, but the noise from the waterfall was so loud that they couldn’t hear him shouting. He tripped on a root and fell down a hill and hurt his ankle, so he couldn’t walk back up.”

limp

“What happened to him,” Damon asked with a worried look. “He stayed on the ground for a few hours waiting for someone to find him, but it was already dark, so he had to sleep right there on the ground. The first night he wasn’t so hungry, but when he woke up, he knew he had to find something to eat. First he tried to catch a fish in the river, but he didn’t have a net or a pole or anything, so that was pretty much impossible. Then he limped around looking for berries or mushrooms.”

poisonous

“A lot of mushrooms are poisonous,” Carrie interjected. “I hope he didn’t eat any mushrooms.”Jenna assured her, “He didn’t eat any mushrooms. And he didn’t find any berries either. What he did find was a pile of worms in the dirt. So he ate those.”“Ew!” we all cried out in unison.“And then he found some beetles and a caterpillar. And when it got dark, he caught fireflies and ate those.”

make it

“So what happened to him?” I finally shouted out. “Did he make it?” Jenna nodded, “He did. Thanks to all the bugs he found in the woods.” We were all silent for a moment, thinking about the man surviving on bugs. “There are a lot of people starving in the world,” Damon finally said. “I wonder if bugs could be a solution for world hunger.” “Actually, I think some companies have started selling bugs for humans to eat,” Carrie said. “You’re joking!” Jenna stuck out her tongue. I had already reached for my phone, “Actually, she’s not. Listen:”
