We do not have much food, and the ______ here are terrible. Rats and other ______ are everywhere, and we must be careful not to get sick. Sometimes, we get a letter or a small ______ from home, and that makes us happy. The worst thing is waiting. We never know when the next ______ will start, so we must always be ready.

With love,
Your son, James
