It was not a particularly healthy animal, but there was a decent amount of meat on it. He remained impressed by Saul’s performance today, and the least he could do, he thought, was to offer the youth a nice meal. He had not been oblivious of Saul’s silent offer, but the prize belonged to the hunter that had brought down the prey. He did not want to refuse the kind gift, but they could feast on lovely rabbit meat together and celebrate the small yet very successful hunt.
