Drum Made of Human Skin

Ery continued, "I searched for a long time, but I couldn't find my sister even when it was dark. I kept crying. Mom got impatient and stuffed a little bear into my hands, saying that my sister had left it for me. She also said that my sister had left with someone far away to enjoy life and wouldn't come back to this poor place."

At this point, Ery couldn't help but cry. She pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "But I don't believe it!" Her sister wouldn't leave her behind. Absolutely not!

From that day onwards, Ery searched the entire ranch, the grassland, and found the high mountains on the coast and the coast from the grassland. She hugged the rag doll her sister had left for her and searched in fear. When she was hungry, she ate some grass. When she was thirsty, she lay in a low-lying puddle and drank some water. The rag doll silently accompanied her, turning from clean to dirty.
