• 1) Try to think of a time when you were hungry.
  Think about how you felt. Try to relate your
  feelings to those of the young boy.
• 2) Now try to think. If your mother sent you out
  to the store with money to get groceries and you
  came back with nothing, how would she react to
  you?

  young boys wouldve stayed? How would the story
  have differed?
