This stilt home has large wooden vertical beams propping it up to avoid the annual flooding that comes about during the year.  The dark wooden home itself is rather plain on the inside and outside with a thatch roof.  There's a small garden to the rear of the stilt home.

beggar
I live in the woods outside a nearby village.  In the mornings I go to the church where the nuns give me leftover bread.  During the day I beg in the marketplace.  I tell crude jokes to men and give compliments to women so they will give me coins.
Please spare some food. I'm sorry, I have none extra. Please I might die. I truly have nothing, I'm sad to say. Yikes guess I'll die. How have you survived this long then? I don not know. Well where have you gotten food from? I get it from scrap piles. Is there no food there then? I have no money or scraps. That is quite tragic, I can come back with food if you think you can make it for that long.
