Of course, Rolf was keen to go forth and try in the real chase,
but it was many a shot he missed and many an arrow lost or
broken, before he brought in even a red squirrel, and he got, at
least, a higher appreciation of the skill of those who could
count on the bow for their food.
For those, then, who think themselves hunters and woodmen,
let this be a test and standard: Can you go forth alone into
the wilderness where there is game, take only a bow and arrows for
weapons, and travel afoot 250 miles, living on the country as you go?
Chapter 10. Rolf Works Out with Many Results
He is the dumbest kind of a dumb fool that ain't king in some little
corner. -- Sayings of Si Sylvanne
THE man who has wronged you will never forgive you, and he who has
helped you will be forever grateful. Yes, there is nothing that
draws you to a man so much as the knowledge that you have helped him.
Quonab helped Rolf, and so was more drawn to him than to many of the
neighbours that he had known for years; he was ready to like him.
Their coming together was accidental, but it was soon very clear
that a friendship was springing up between them.
