Ne m’oubliez pasThe first meat dishes at the home on Lepky were a sham. The Tsilyks don’t even have enough food for themselves. So I’ve had to get used to pearl barley, buckwheat, and pasta. Animal bones are first used for thin soup broth, and only after that do they come to me. I didn’t feel like hunting before—so now this is what I have. But I am here temporarily. I still believe I will return to Novers’k.
