M6 Ethiopia Edits Expectations, Elevating Eating Extremes

     Finally I will enjoy technology like warm lamps and toasty gas-electric fireplaces. As I follow the blueish path through the portal to modern times that I forgot a few missions ago, I embrace mud houses and bony children and adults. When I traveled here I was expecting a bit more. The people are just walking around, one coin in their hand buying a bag of lettuce or something. They go back to their kids in their mud house and split it up. No wonder they're so skinny. They look like dogs, in the eyes too, hungry, and doing everything they can in hopes of a better life. I don't trust those eyes, so I back into a corner in the shadows and hide.

     My stomach starts to lurch and my tail can't supply me strength anymore, so I'll have to eat some ants or worms near the cattle farms. I'm glad they're the 10th largest livestock producer in the world. There's no worms, no ants, no flies. Thank goodness the manure is gone, wait is that good? Now that I think of it, it is not. There are no bugs, and the air smells, so they must use it as fuel, and that would explain their malnourished, fruitless crops. No wonder everyone's starving. I just remembered over half of the people live on less than a dollar a day, it makes me so sad. I'll try the farm next.

    No worms, no water, no anything but radishes the size of a cherry. The people are screaming in English, surprisingly their main language, "A pack of Ethiopian wolfs has been spotted near, though they're critically endangered, they must not eat our goats and cows!". They have goats, time to see the goats! The goats are shinny as a bone, and have such a small, almost void utters you can drain all it's milk in under a half minute! Wow, I didn't realize how lucky I was to live in America. The town pulled out their spears and ran at the wolves, only chasing them away. If I weren't in a city it would be even worse.

     Finally I check the lettuce in the back of the shelf, and just like America, they put the worst in the back, The bugs are eating away at the brown, smelly lettuce that's probably a month old. The bugs were a relief, and I think I just cleared a pest problem, or will. There are rotten tomatoes, what bug can resist a watery, pussy tomato just saying it's name to their noses-antennas. I feast. After filling up, I just realized I was supposed to ask people the pros and cons, but I can't talk. I can guess what they would say though.

     One con is that they're starving. Another is they have bad crops. One more is their livestock aren't productive. And last but not least the people live in mud houses when they wish they could have those nice wooden American ones. A pro is that they have several types of regions, so they can have a large variety of crops. No offense to Ethiopia, but I wish I was home right now.
