As soon as we came into the plain, we had occasion enough to look about us. The first object we met with was a dead horse; that is to say, a poor horse which the wolves had killed, and at least a dozen of them at work, we could not say eating him, but picking his bones rather; for they had eaten up all the flesh before.
Bensì entrati nella pianura, non avemmo penuria di queste inamabili creature; e la prima cosa che ne ferì la vista, fu una dozzina di essi affaccendati a succhiar l’ossa, non diremo a mangiar le carni, chè non ce ne restavano più, d’un povero cavallo che aveano sbranato.
