XX Day Of XX Month
When I woke on the next day, there was an empty hollow feeling in my stomach. Like a man begging for food, my stomach made incessant noise to gather my attention. I woke the rest of my family so we could set off early for our hunt. However, to my great surprise and pleasure Fritz and Ernest had taken responsibility before I! I saw them from a great distance preparing our asses for the hunt we had planned. I quickly walked over to meet them and assist in their arrangements.
Ernest greeted me first 'Ah Father it is good that you are here, Fritz incorrectly says that we should leave right now without the rest'
Fritz interjected before I could even speak ' If we do not leave now, we will be stuck with the great wild beasts. Surely we would die if that were to happen!'
I grew somewhat irate with the young men. I opened my mouth to speak once more but Ernest hotly replied to Fritz's statement 'What would mother think? She would be worried to death over our sudden departure! Mother would conjure images of her eldest sons be mauled by beats!'
Gathering attention, I cleared my throat and spoke to the squabbling boys 'Did you not learn anything from our gathering yesterday? We made no progress disconnected but when we connected we made substantial work!'
The boys stopped their heated glares at one another and turned to listen to my words. I plowed on like a determined farmer would plow fertile land ' Both of make good points, however I believe this task before us is too great for three . We shall wait for the others before we set off'
And so I sat down with my sons soon following suit. All burning with anticipation for the hunt to regain our livelihood.
