Saturday, June eighteenth.  
Next morning, when the eagle had flown some distance into Ångermanland, he remarked that to-day he was the one who was hungry, and must find something to eat! He set the boy down in an enormous pine on a high mountain , and away he flew.
 
The boy found a comfortable seat in a branch from which he could look down over Ångermanland. It was a glorious morning! The sunshine the treetops; a soft breeze played in the pine needles; the sweetest was through the forest; a beautiful landscape spread before him; and the boy himself was happy and care-free. He felt that no one could be better off.
 
He had a perfect outlook in every direction. The country west of him was all peaks and table-land, and the farther away they were, the higher and wilder they looked. To the east there were also many peaks, but these sank lower and lower toward the sea, where the land became flat. Everywhere he saw shining rivers and which were having a troublesome journey with rapids and falls so long as they ran between mountains, but spread out clear and broad as they neared the shore of the coast. Bothnia Bay was dotted with islands and with points, but farther out was open, blue water, like a summer sky.

As the boy glanced down at the rich valley, he complained of feeling hungry. He had had no food for two whole days, he said, and now he was . Gorgo did not wish to have it said that the boy had fared worse in his company than when he travelled with the wild geese, so he slackened his speed.
 
"Why haven't you spoken of this before?" he asked. "You shall have all the food you want. There's no need of your starving when you have an eagle for a travelling companion."
 
Just then the eagle sighted a farmer who was sowing a field near the river . The man carried the seeds in a basket suspended from his neck, and each time that it was emptied he refilled it from a seed sack which stood at the end of the . The eagle reasoned it out that the sack must be filled with the best food that the boy could wish for, so he toward it. But............
