The next day, Felix goes to the study. Caecilius invites him to go hunting.
"Huge boar" says Caecilius, " it lies hidden in Mount Vesuvius, friends see this boar often. However this animal is ferocious. Friends have never captured him."
"I am a very brave hunter" responds Felix. "Fearful of gladiators perhaps. A boar however i am not scared!" But why did you not invite Quintus? Surely not could he be afraid of the boar."
Therefore, Caecilius calls his son. Quintus happily took a long hunting spear and hurried to go with his father and the freedman. Many servants and dogs came along. All adavanced to the mountain, where the boar was hiding. Servants made noises after the boar was spotted. The boar was fercious, and because it heard the noise it started to attack. Felix threw the hunting spear but it did not hit the boar. The freedman because he fell to the ground shouted "alas the boar attacked me!"
Quintus bravely stepped up and then threw his hunting spear. "Look! It pierced the boar." The huge boar fell the ground dead. "Hurrah" shouted Caecilius! "Felix saved Quintus, Now my son saved Felix!"
