2. Their fathers are still too weak to be of any use to me. All their strength is gone.

3. They are starving with nothing to eat, so they chew on the dry, ruined land.

4. They pull up salt plants in the desert and eat the roots from the broom tree.

5. They are forced away from other people, who shout at them as if they were thieves.

6. They must live in the dry riverbeds, hillside caves, and holes in the ground.

7. They howl in the bushes and huddle together under thornbushes.

8. They are a bunch of worthless people without names, who were forced to leave their country.

9. “Now their sons sing songs to make fun of me. My name has become a bad word to them.
