Then after they ate all of the crops, they left. They called it the grasshopper plague. When food and fuel run out, they almost starved. A man named Almanzo Wilder saved the town by searching for wheat in a snowstorm. Three years later when Laura was 18, she married Almanzo, who was 28, ten years older than her.
