Passage
One
Famine
means a state of extreme hunger due to an insufficient supply of food suffered
by the population of an area. Natural
causes, such as crop failures caused by adverse climatic conditions, have,
since time immemorial, produced famine conditions, Droughts, floods, excessive
rainfall, cold summers, and over – long winters are common cause of crop
failure, as are plagues of locusts, other production and to create conditions
which may result in famine after the failure off a single crop.
In ancient societies, famines
were of more frequent occurrence because of primitive methods of food
production and storage. Medieval Europe
was no less liable to such suffering than China, India, and other countries of
eastern Asia ; both continents were equally devoid of efficient communication
and transportation in one locality could not ordinarily be the inhabitants of a
locality only 100 miles and reliance chiefly on neighboring farm lands for food
supply created conditions only too favorable to the outbreak of famine in big
cities.

Passage
Two
He lay
there in the darkness hearing the voice of father sternly warning him and Lamin
never to wander off anywhere alone ; Kunta desperately wished that he had
heeded his father’s warnings. His heart
sank with the thought that he would never again be able to listen to his
father, that for the rest of whatever was going to be his life, he was going to
have to think for himself.
“ All
thing are the will of Allah ! ” That
statement – which had begun with the alcala *
- went from mouth to ear, and when it came to Kunta from the man lying
on his left side, he turned his head to whisper the words to his Wolof shackle
mate. After a moment, Kunta realized
that the Wolof hadn’t whispered the word on to the next man, and after
wondering for a while why not, he thought that perhaps he hadn’t said them
clearly, so he started to whisper the message once again. But abruptly the Wolof spat out loudly enough
to be heard across the darkness cam several loud exclamations of agreement with
the Wolof, and arguments broke out here and there.
Kunta was deeply shaken. The shocked realization that he lay with a
pagan burned into his brain, faith in Allah being as precious to him as life
itself. Until now he had respected the
friendship and the wise opinions of his older shacklemate. But now Kunta knew that there could never be
any more companionship between them.

เขาหมอบเงียบอยู่ในความมืด
นึกถึงคำของพ่อที่เตือนไม่ให้เขาและลามีนออกไปข้างนอกเพียงลำพัง
คุนต้าคิดอย่างหมดหวังว่าเขาควรจะเชื่อฟังคำเตือนของพ่อ ใจเขาวูบลงเมื่อคิดว่าตั้งแต่นี้ต่อไปจะไม่ได้ยินเสียงของพ่ออีก ไม่ว่าชีวิตเขาจะเป็นอย่างไร เขาต้องพึ่งตัวเองเท่านั้น
“ทุกสิ่งเป็นการดลบันดาลของพระอาหล่า” ประโยคนี้ตั้งต้นจาก alcala
กระซิบจากปากเข้าหูต่อกันไปเรื่อย ๆ จนถึงคุนต้า เขาหันไปกระซิบกับ Wolof
เพื่อนร่วมชะตาเดียวกับเขาคอยอยู่ครู่หนึ่งคุนต้าสังเกตเห็นว่า Wolof
อาจไม่ได้ยินคำที่เขากระซิบ
เขาจึงกระซิบใหม่อีกครั้ง แต่ทันใดนั้น Wolof
ได้สบถคำพูดออกมาดัง ๆ พอได้ยินกันไปทั่วว่า “ถ้าพระอาหล่าพอใจอย่างนี้ จงสาปแช่งให้ฉันเป็นปีศาจเถอะ” เสียงพึมพำเห็นด้วยดังมาจากทุกแห่งในความมืด และการโต้เถียงก็ได้ระเบิดขึ้น
คุนต้า
ช็อคและสั่นไปทั้งตัวเมื่อคิดได้ว่า
กำลังหมอบใกล้กับพวกนอกศาสนา
ความเชื่อมั่นศรัทธาในพระอาหล่าเป็นสิ่งที่มีค่าพอ ๆ กับชีวิตของเขา จนกระทั่งบัดนี้เขาจึงเกิดความนับถือ เคารพในความเห็นที่ฉลาดของผู้อาวุโส
แต่เดี๋ยวนี้คุนต้ารู้ว่าจะไม่มีมิตรภาพความเป็นเพื่อนระหว่างเขาเหล่านั้นอีก
