One for Study by Everyone

[Mortblanc]

The girl did strip the plane for everything of use before they struck out and they did have about a week of food on hand in the plane. That was not luck, it was intelligence.

She had a small tarp and a towel and a few other items that were not listed in the report I read.

They had a bit of manioc flour, which is not like wheat flour at all, it is more coarse and lumpy. It can be eaten raw or cooked as a potage.

After that week they had to leave the vicinity of the plane and lived on fruit in the jungle. They were fortunate that the fruit was in season and eatable at that time.

The girl knew what was ripe, what was poison, and kept them near the river, where life in the Amazon takes place. If you find people they will be along the rivers.

Fortunately she was not 16. At 16 kids go stupid, their IQ falls by 1/2 and their attention span evaporates. Some never recover.
