The Bad Times
During the years of the bad times the food was very scarce.
The only food they had was frogs and they had to pull weeds and boil them without salt
When the people used to sow the potatoes the used to make a hole in the ground. There were a lot more people then than now because thousands of people died with hunger and starvation
