Answer:
Once they are trapped each regarded the other with disdain and hate initially, until they made a pact to be friendly to each other
Explanation:
Before both men were trapped by the tree which fell on them and hurt them, they both hated each other and each wished evil to the other person.
When they met on that fateful day, regardless of the rifle in the hand of each man, they had a code to not just kill except their honor was at stake.
As they lay on the ground after the tree fell on them, each man was alive but helpless and struggling. Both of them bragged to each other on how his men would come to his rescue, and when they did, the other man would be severely dealt with. They regarded each other with so much disdain that each prayed for his men to get there first.
But right before the end of the story both men agreed to let the age long feud die and be friends.
