I have mentioned that I had saved the few ears of barley and rice, which I had so surprisingly found spring up, as I thought, of themselves, and I believe there were about thirty stalks of rice, and about twenty of barley; and now I thought it a proper time to sow it, after the rains, the sun being in its southern position, going from me.
J'ai raconté plus haut que j'avais mis en réserve le peu d'orge et de riz que j'avais cru poussés spontanément et merveilleusement; il pouvait bien y avoir trente tiges de riz et vingt d'orge.
