Ch 33

Tommy looked at all the food that she brought in and remembered just what he had to pay for the things that he had gotten before. It cost more than half of the money that they had left. He looked at his mom and wondered if she could have stolen them, but they all were in bags. As he looked at her, he thought that she never could have done something like that. But it was not like they had brought anything that she could sell to make the money that would pay for all this. Then he looked at her hand and saw that she was still wearing the ring that she had. He knew that it was not worth much, but it was the only thing that she had left that had any value at all.
