When the three persons came to the creek, I found that two of them could swim, but the third could not, and that, standing on the other side, he looked at the others, but went no farther, and soon after went softly back again; which, as it happened, was very well for him in the end.
Quand ses trois ennemis arrivèrent à la crique, je vis qu'il n'y en avait que deux qui sussent nager. Le troisième s'arrêta sur le bord, regarda sur l'autre côté et n'alla pas plus loin.
