Two small Ethiopian sisters were orphaned when their father took the family supposedly away from their home and through a dense forest to his parents home where they would be more able to eat there because it was in an area where the massive drought had not entered. Halfway through the forest, the family stopped to rest and the mother needed to breast feed the younger daughter Yodit while the elder child Meme foraged for berries in the area. Their father, looking at his family and their thinning condition, became overcome with depression and slipping a thin bladed knife from out of his sleeve, he approached his wife from behind and then plunged the knife into her chest just below where the child was nursing. Surprised, she looked up at him with a questioning pain, then fell back onto the hardened earth and the small child fell to her side. He ran off into the forest just as the older child viewed her mother on the ground and ran to her to see just what had happened to her. They spent the night lying on her stiffening body and crying. The next morning they were awakened by the loud grunting coming from a large Boar that had smelled their mother's blood and was now approaching them in a very threatening way.
