I stretched the bow string to make a sharp sound. The arrow was like a hungry roar. I chased the deer in the plain and shot it in the ribs. I drank its blood thirsty and ate its breast hungry. It was as sweet as nectar. I felt the wind behind my ears and my nose was burning. This music made people forget to die."

At that time, he was young. He pulled his bow so loud that he ran to the plain to shoot roe deer. When he was thirsty, he drank the blood of roe deer, which was very sweet. After drinking, he felt angry and happy.
