then i inspected the entirety of the cave and its cave chambers , found a long stick and enough pieces of twig to build my own freaking broom , which i did , braiding the bristles at the top with a blade of grass and attaching it to the stick with more blades ( this , by the way , was tedious and took a long time but , by god , i did it ) and now i was sweeping out the old , dry , dead insect-ridden grass ( as well as whatever else my admittedly not very great broom could pick up ) even though my feet were killing me .
