He gives it to Oleg and says, "Be sure to give him the very best grain and bedding, I will need him at his best in the morning."At the meal he eats heartily, complimenting his hosts on "simple but delicious country fare". He takes a double helping of honey upon hearing the story of the bear in the woods. "It is no small thing to face down a bear alone in the woods! You must have showed him you were the more ferocious! That reminds me of an encounter I had my own self. I was out hunting with some of my companions and we came upon the fresh track of the largest boar we had ever laid eyes upon. It took us most of a day to corner the wily hog in a patch of gorse. When I came close he boiled out of the thicket like a demon from the foul pits. Naturally I laid my spear low and charged straight back at him. I snapped my spear off in his chest but he still had enough fight left in him to gore my best stallion. I barely got out from under it as it fell. I had my sword in hand ready to sort out the beast when the spears of my companions struck his side. That was my chance to leap in and strike down the beast. His head adorns my fathers study even now." He leans back in his chair and smiles, certain that his story impressed his hosts.</blockquote>
