food and less clothing for herself and
her three little daughters Fatima,
Osonto and kaku,
There were SO many cracks and
crevices in the little hut that the Moon
Lady had no trouble in looking in any
time she wanted to. Tonight, the little
room seemed more bare and cherries
than ever. The Moon Lady just saw
that the food was almost gone. Then
she looked over the screen that made
