Handful of seeds, some tools, and a LOOM! Lots of lessons in there.

"You must be the change you want to see in the world." "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." --Mahatma Gandhi
"Preach the Gospel always, and if necessary, use words." --Francis of Assisi.
"Family farms work when the whole family works the farm." -- Adam Klaus

Great story! It sounded to me as though they did not know much about ancestral skills and were actually pretty lucky to have survived.
