That day Erik walked for a bit until it was noon. Walking through the forest wasn't all that difficult, but around noon, he started feeling the need to satisfy his hunger.
Erik tried to hold out, as he had no intention of eating through his rations in a short time, but he was powerless in the face of the hunger that tormented his stomach.
To begin, the rations he got from Mister Fox's farm were not very much, and he was well aware that he needed to locate a more reliable food supply.
While the seeds and plants he carried would provide some nourishment, if grown into trees, they couldn't fulfill his need for protein.
Potatoes were one of the other types of plants or turmeric that he could use. Still, if he learned how to hunt from the start, he wouldn't have to worry about problems in the future if he found himself in the same situation without anything to plant or if he was forced to leave things behind.
