My creator. Tobacco was given to me to pray today. I ask you in a good way to bless this food and to bless us today. We say thank you to all those animals, wild and domestic, the birds and the fish. Everyone that gave up his or her life here on the earth, so that we can live. We also say thank you for the vegetables and the fruits that you have given to us so that we can have strength today.

Thank you my creator thank you.
