I began now to consider, that having two mouths to feed instead of one, I must provide more ground for my harvest, and plant a larger quantity of corn than I used to do; so I marked out a larger piece of land, and began the fence in the same manner as before, in which Friday worked not only very willingly and very hard, but did it very cheerfully: and I told him what it was for; that it was for corn to make more bread, because he was now with me, and that I might have enough for him and myself too.
Je commençai alors à réfléchir qu'ayant deux bouches à nourrir au lieu d'une, je devais me pourvoir de plus de terrain pour ma moisson et semer une plus grande quantité de grain que de coutume. Je choisis donc une plus grande pièce de terre, et me mis à l'enclorre de la même façon que mes autres champs, ce à quoi Vendredi travailla non-seulement volontiers et de tout cœur mais très-joyeusement.
