Imagine being born in those days with no practical abilities, like with autism or something.
They were chased from home because they couldn’t contribute with farmwork.
If you can sing or tell stories, you might be able to get food and lodging now and then.
Tough life.
Technically speaking, he must’ve used a minimum of 2 bundles to carry his stuff. Or maybe that was just to look good for his photo ops?
