Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon."
After a while, I knew that my belly was hungry. I could have
hunted for my meat, but I did not hunt. It is known that the
gods did not hunt as we do-they got their food from

what is necessary for his survival.
When the narrator decides to ignore his father's words
and eat the food of the gods, he realizes that he is learning
to make his own choices.
