Having accompanied us to the edge of the forest, he bade us farewell. "Should there be more wolves in the forest, they will not follow you further than this," he said; "but if they do, remember that it will be better to sacrifice some of the venison, than to allow them to overtake you.  Throw them a small bit at a time; and as in all likelihood they will stop to quarrel over it, you will thus have time to escape."
