![]() And that conversation between those three talking animals leads to an adventure and a half for Odd. ![]() Not the most promising of companions, but all three follow Odd back to the cabin. And the bear is watched by a beady-eyed eagle. The fox leads him to a bear who's been trapped while in search of honey. But before he can even get settled in his father's old cabin in the forest, Odd stumbles across a fox. In the end, tired of the mocking and the beating and the mistrust, Odd decides to try and make it on his own. And what with his strange habit of smiling at the wrong time and his crippled leg, Odd isn't well-liked, either by his stepfather or the rest of the village. With a dead husband and a crippled son, Odd's mother had little choice but to remarry. While trying to emulate his woodcutter father - Vikings weren't full-time Vikings, you know: they all had other jobs - in the woods, Odd got too enthusiastic with an axe and a falling tree crushed his leg. His father died in a raid not so long back. ![]()
