The man and the boy have just come past a village where there were looking for food. The boy saw another boy through a window and ran but his father caught him.  He wanted to take the other boy with them because he thought that he was lost and alone. His father told him that there are many people there but they are just hiding. The boy was crying but after a while he got over it. When they reached the area where they wood sleep his father went to collect wood for a fire and they ate their last tinned food.
