Coyote and Crone Part 2

The children stumbled wearily, hungry.

Upon their backs were twig bundles.

They entered the rundown cottage.

"Is that all you brought?  Not enough!"

The pair cowered in terror, tried to hide.

Later, bruises forming and bellies empty,
They worked on their run away plan.

At first light, before dawn's revealing,
They stole into the forest, empty handed.

"We will look for a fire.  We will look for food."

Their hearts were fuller than their bellies.
