We've mortgaged our fields, our vineyards and our homes to buy grain in this famine. Borrowed money to pay the king's tax. Now we're having to hand our sons and daughters over as slaves, and some of our daughters already are. We can't buy them back, because our fields belong to other people. And we're the same flesh and blood as them.
