Sometimes people would feed Sarah and her mother a sandwich or some potato chips. They always had a lot to eat. At night, Sarah and her mother would rest under the roof(屋顶) of a nearby building. It was a quite warm place to live in.
But one day it started to get colder. The little fish that were always swimming in the waves were a lot harder to find. There were no more people coming to the beach, so no one was there to feed Sarah and her mother any sandwiches or chips.
