That might not have mattered as much when his parents were in their prime, but as they got older they kept asking the boy to roll up his sleeves. In vain, the boy whistled his dogs and left for the forest.

Even when his father was dying, he continued to hunt day after day. His parents begged him to stay home one day, because they felt that the old farmer would not survive that day.

But the forest shudders, his dogs howl like werewolves and he never finds peace ...
