Since bones could be boiled several times, allowing everyone to enjoy and replenish their nutrition with bone soup often, when the soup was served, people didn't need to be reminded. Some carried water to replenish the pot, some added firewood to the stove, and then continued cooking, preparing to distribute the soup again in the evening.
So, everyone was in high spirits as they carried their share of meat and soup back home.
This situation was true for adults and sensible children only, as some children couldn't resist their cravings. Fearing that they wouldn't get to eat if they brought it back home, they would eat all the meat on the spot, their mouths coated with oil and their faces beaming with joy.
The younger ones said, "This is meat! It's so delicious! I wish I could eat it every day."
"Look at you, delighted! Having a bite of meat is like a blessing to our ancestors, and you're dreaming about having it every day."
