Page 90 - Green Butterfly Book 2

Date:
Several dogs barked at them. Some women were hoeing their gardens. They hardly looked up as the boys passed.
An old woman was stirring something in an iron pot over a fire. It smelled good. Daniel remembered that he had eaten nothing since breakfast.
His friend stopped and pointed to Daniel and himself. The old woman nodded. With a sharp stick, she lifted a piece of meat from the pot.
The Indian boy took a broad leaf from a near-by bush. The woman dropped the hot meat on it.
Now Daniel knew what to do. He, too, found a leaf. The woman gave him some meat. Soon the hungry boys had finished their lunch.
