The older wolf paused in his digging long enough to regard Floki. His countenance and tone of voice were friendly as he told the boy what he could do to assist. Floki wasted no time; he padded around the end of the log until he stood on the side opposite Jura. He hesitated only a moment, watching as the more experienced hunter continued pawing at the ground, then began to mimic his movements.
He hunkered down, reaching out with his forelegs. His claws pulled at the soft earth and he felt dirt promptly squish in between his toes. The sensation made him wrinkle his nose, but he kept going, bending at the elbow to begin shaping a small hole. The more he dug, the more potent the smell of rabbit became; and although Floki wasn't an experienced hunter, the odor was enough to excite his instincts and inspire him to dig faster.
With some work and persistence, the two wolves were able to flush the rabbit out of hiding. Jura was the one to make the kill, though he graciously shared the credit with Floki.
