I went and cut boughs of trees, and branches of such shrubs as I could find, and threw it over, and having fed it, I tied it as I did before, to lead it away; but it was so tame with being hungry, that I had no need to have tied it, for it followed me like a dog: and as I continually fed it, the creature became so loving, so gentle, and so fond, that it became from that time one of my domestics also, and would never leave me afterwards.
Quand il les eut brouté, je le liai comme j'avais fait auparavant et je l'emmenai; mais il était si maté par l'inanition, que je n'aurais pas même eu besoin de le tenir en laisse: il me suivit comme un chien. Comme je continuai de le nourrir, il devint si aimant, si gentil, si doux, qu'il fut dès lors un de mes serviteurs, et que depuis il ne voulut jamais m'abandonner.
