Quote 1: “The country was poor in munitions for war”.

The country was in desperation to gather resources in the grueling war. 

Poor countries can’t offer the money to buy or make weapons, so if there is a war, they can’t defend themselves.

Quote 2: ” A feeling has crept over me, quite unfavorable to the exercise of my limited powers of speech”. 

As I snatched any power words from my lips, a terrifying feeling overtook every fiber of my being.

sometimes when we face difficult or surprised situations we can’t talk or express our feeling, so we became speechless.
