"If I got a hare every time I have heard someone saying this," Sarah drawled, pretending to lose her interest in the matter and gnawed contemplatively on the bone again. She could sense the boy's desperation and a decision forming about taking the food by force. If the positions were reversed, then she would probably think the same. But, if the old battle axe from the Bearclaw valley had taught her anything, then it was not to under-estimate people's ability to survive against the odds. The boy's mistake was in thinking that just because her state was poor, she was weak. Just because her chances of dying were probably higher, this made her somehow weak. He did not know that Sarah had nothing to lose.
