My Side Of The Mountain chapter 17

Sam kept cutting because he wanted to make a tunnel to go from stack to stack. The author means when he says "Now i am back where i began. I wont tell it again?" that sam either came back to his first woodpile, or he could mean that he might be going through another snowstorm. Sam's standby for breakfast on those cold mornings was Professor Bando's jam. The two plants that sam found under the snow were tea berry, and wintergreen flowers. Sense sam did not have paper to write on he used birch bark.
