Remembering the rabbit holes that he and Zelda tripped over after escaping the train, Felix decides to try hunting rabbits. He takes a knife and a cloth bag and sneaks out. Stopping in awe at the sight of a huge house that is occupied by Nazis, Felix is accosted by the runaway Jewish boy who was friendly with Leopold. The boy points a knife at him. Felix convinces the boy that he is Jewish by showing him that he is circumcised. Felix asks if he wants to go hunting, but the boy declines.
Felix goes off alone and actually manages to catch a rabbit. However, he drops it when he hears gunshots. Nazi soldiers are in the woods hunting rabbits as well. Felix is relieved; he knows that he would not have been able to bring himself to kill the rabbit, even to feed his family.
Felix follows the Nazis to the river, where they fish with hand grenades. The Jewish orphan returns and asks Felix if he wants to hunt Nazis. He produces two guns. Felix is horrified. Disappointed in Felix, the boy goes off alone and shoots one of the soldiers. Felix runs away as the other soldiers start searching the woods.
