a child lost from his mother.

I own this land that the indolent soldiers are camping on. They have been here all summer. If I had known, I would not have sown any crops this spring. Now we are approaching harvest time and my fields are trampled. I am not sure how my family will survive this fall. I have worked my whole life for this land, and now it is ruining me.
Ah, good Deity of the Crops, hear my prayer and save my land from those foul soldiers that have defiled it with their terrible... just messy ways. Mommy!  Where are you?  I have lost my Mommy!   Goodness!  You gave me a start wee one -- ah now, there there, no need to cry. But it has been a long time since I've seen my mother in the temple.  Where could she have gone without me? Ah, have yeh been here long, little one?  Did you have breakfast with 'er this morn, mayhaps? I did and she brought me here and said she would be back to get me before lunch but the sun has gone well past lunch. I shall never see her again! There there, now.  You see, there's been a fearsome storm out just this afternoon, do ye recall? Do you remember the storm, young.. ah- what's your name, child? Bonnie.  Yes, I remember the storm.  I came in here from the hall because it was so loud.  Do you think she got caught it in?  Do you think she be dead? Ah, Bonnie, I bet she just took shelter through the worst of it, now.  There's lots o' barns and houses fer her to be shelterin' in.  She's just a wee bit delayed, now, but I've no doubt she'll be here in soon enough.  Have ye anythin ta eat all day? No, I am very hungry.  Could I do some work for you to earn some bread?  Are you the priest of this temple?  Can you pray for my Ma to be safe? No, Bonnie, but I am a land owner of a biiiig farm, not too far from here.  I'm sure you could stay with me and the missus and earn yer keep.  We've naught a lot, but I'm sure a wee mite like you can be spared some food, eh?   You are so very kind. I shall leave a note for my Ma and she can fetch me there.  I can work hard and I don't eat much.  I even know how to sew beautiful things that can be sold if you have sheep's wool.
