Should They Have Left England

They were pilgrims, used to following another’s direction. This was a strange country; they thought they would find meat. The forest was silent; would they starve? Neither said it. Both were thinking it. Should they have left England? Was this a mistake? They thought this new country would be a fresh start. They had been so eager! So excited! So thrilled. Both were feeling discouraged today. There is a rabbit! The wife said. The musket gun was slow. They missed it. Luckily, the Indians had left a fat pig on their doorstep. They discovered it when they arrived home.
