After I had been two or three days returned to my castle, I thought that, in order to bring Friday off from his horrid way of feeding, and from the relish of a cannibal’s stomach, I ought to let him taste other flesh; so I took him out with me one morning to the woods.
Trois ou quatre jours après mon retour au château je pensai que, pour détourner Vendredi de son horrible nourriture accoutumée et de son appétit cannibale, je devais lui faire goûter d'autre viande: je l'emmenai donc un matin dans les bois.
