There is no grass in the fields for the deer to eat.
    So the mother deer runs away from her new baby.
Wild donkeys stand on the empty hills.
    They breathe very fast, like thirsty jackals.
Their eyes hurt as they look for grass,
    but there is no food for them to eat.’

    We have done bad things against you.
