    Me and my brothers stayed home all day while


    our parents when out to work. We didn’t know how to take care of ourselves at first, but
    when we got older we learned how to make food for ourselves. We would be really
    malnurished all day. We usauly would walk around town and play with our friends.
    When we would get hungry we would look through trash cans and scavenge for food.
