Describe one of their days-

They got up at dawn to bathe in a stream, washed their clothes. Then

shells. Lunch consisted on raw fish and breadfruit, a short nap then and as
Michael was so engrossed watching Kensuke to paint, the evening would come soon.
They had a fish soup and, at the end, they would solemnly bow to one another
and go to sleep.
