The Post-Agriculture Omnivore

I find a melon that’s good to eat.  I notice that it likes to grow in a particular sort of area.  I save all the seeds from the melons I eat, and I find a place near my home similar to where they like to grow.  I plant my seeds simply by poking a small hole with a stick for each one, putting the seed in, and then pushing the hole closed.  I notice that birds like to eat the seeds.  Now I have birds to eat!  When the plants start growing, I notice that bugs like to eat them.  Now I have bugs to eat!  When the melons start to grow, I notice that rabbits like to eat them.  Now I have rabbits to eat!  When the remaining melons finally ripen, I have melons to eat!  I save my seeds, and plant them back down again.
