Yep Desert Diary

Recently, Joseph had been very lucky in his hunting and had been able to trade a lot of meat and animal skins, and had made enough money to buy either a Fleuve horse (Senegalese (country in north-west Africa) horse breed) or a N'Dama (north-west African cow breed, always light brown but different shades) cow. He decided on a Fleuve horse, as horses don't eat as much or need as much land. He built a fence around a piece of land about one and a half acres with about half an acre of it with a roof in case it rained, made of laurel (tree with very hard wood) wood. When he had finished building it, he went to a village and bought a bay (horse coat color. It is dark brown with a black mane and tail) Fleuve horse. After a few months he had enough money to buy a female N'Dama cow. N'Dama Cow Bay Fleuve Horse

 After a breakfast of houbara bustard (bird) meat, coconut milk, cactus fruit and pineapple, Joseph went to see if a cornfield that he'd planted was ready to be harvested. It was, and he went home and brought an iron sickle to harvest the corn. After a while, it was all harvested, and Joseph went looking for other edible plants. He found a few baobab trees (large trees, common where I lived most of my life so far. They have some white fruit inside of hard pods), and picked their fruit. After a while he found an o puntia ( commonly known as prickly pear) cactus and gathered the fruit. He also found a date palm (a kind of palm tree that grows dates (slightly sweet, chewy fruit, with an oval seed in the middle)), climbed it, plucked the dates, and went home.
