11:47 am
instantly. we took the sleds over to but couldn't prospect we put little buckets on to the sleds that there was a hole in the ice close to the riverbank. although sometimes we went there to get water. it was easy to lose the buckets when we climbed back up the embankment i.q. the water would splash over the rim of the buckets will be any pulling those sleds was very difficult because the ground was completely frozen yellow. but still we kept going and taking those two buckets back home that we dragged. water and use it to wash there was nowhere else to get it and. the bombing is not as bad as the starvation and. i'm sold then. starvation has caused mom stomach to swell she's in the hospital. i will not
