Accordingly, I dug up a piece of ground as well as I could with my wooden spade, and dividing it into two parts, I sowed my grain; but as I was sowing, it casually occurred to my thoughts that I would not sow it all at first, because I did not know when was the proper time for it, so I sowed about two-thirds of the seed, leaving about a handful of each.
Conseguentemente lavorai meglio che potei con la mia vanga di legno un pezzo di terra che divisi in due parti per seminarvi il mio grano. Nel far ciò mi venne a caso l’idea di non seminarlo tutto in una volta, perchè non era ancora ben sicuro che quella fosse l’idonea stagione.
