Digital Maasai – Donner Party

-Boy, we must be really high up.
The air feels so different.
-Uh…huh.
-Dad?
-Yes?
-I’m hungry.
-Well you should have eaten your breakfast.

-Hey, wasn’t it around here that the Donner party got snowbound?
-I think that was farther west in the Sierras.
-What was the Donner party?
-There were a party of settlers in the covered wagon times. They got snowbound one winter in the mountains. They had to resort to cannabilism in order to stay alive.
-You mean they ate each other up?
-They had to, in order to survive.
-Jack…
-Don’t worry, Mom. I know all about cannabilism, I saw it on T.V.
-See, it’s okay. He saw it all on the television.
