The dad lost his job. He lost it on purpose so that he could find more gold. But for a while they were very tight on money. One thing that they had to do was cut back on what they ate. To me this would be very scary. They even ran out of food. I have never experienced this, and it makes me think how fortunate I am. The only time they were able to eat is when their dad won money gambling. The kids had to find food on their own, and often having to steal it. They would sneak in for recess and take things out of other kids lunches. And when they went over to friends houses they would sneak their food. I can't imagine having to worry about where your next meal would come from.
