11/20/93 pages 1-15 from Maroo and the Winter Caves

I wonder...what it must be like to live in a cave. I would be scared. I wonder too what it feels like not to know if there will be food to eat. It would be difficult for me to walk through snow and look for something to eat. I guess if I had to I would. Marco and her brother and sister made it seem so easy. Life during cave days was so different than the life we live today. I'd like to go back to those times just to visit. I wonder how long I would be able to stay away from the life I have now.
