' trust me and eat as you did before , and no harm shall happen to you , ' said she . so ian ate and drank , and fell sound asleep under the cask . in the evening the robbers arrived very tired , and crosser than they had been yesterday , for their luck had turned and they had brought back scarcely anything . ' someone has eaten our dinner again , ' cried they . ' it is the man under the barrel , ' answered the captain . ' let four of you go and kill him , but first slay the other four who pretended to kill him last night and did n't because he is still alive . '
what did the deer tell ian to do after he was alive again ?
eat as he did before .
trust me and eat as you did before .
