I have come to hunt some animals for feeding my family.   CF : Don't you know that we have banned the hunting of animals in the forest? Go away you cannot be allowed to hunt animals. It is illegal.   A : I need the flesh of the animal so that my wife can cook the food. I regularly hunt for animals and nobody has stopped me before.   CF : No, you will not be allowed to do this.
