But since they had burning punk in the bag, they thought they could light their torches again. They waited for the rain to cease. Then they took the punk from the bag and tried to light their torches. But the wood was damp, and it was hard work to fan the spark into a flame.

He barely escaped to a neighboring tree, where the wolves kept him treed for a day. When the wolves went away, he was nearly starved; he was tired and discouraged, too.
