Feeding the foxes and cubs

It was then that the little children could see the little foxes which were happily running around the place.

Some of them were playing with some things that Einar had built out of wood.

While others were lying in the snow enjoying the warm sun in the snow.

But all the foxes without exception raised their little heads and gazed with joy at Lars' wheelbarrow of meat.

So they got as close as they could, trying to get Lars's attention so that he would give him some meat.

Aila who, seeing that the foxes were ready to be fed, took out of the leather bag that had two pairs of gloves.

Which were specially made of leather and chainmail to protect the small hands of children.

"Well, kids, I want you to form two lines and stand back as they are going to start feeding the foxes."
