And now, indeed, my stock of corn increasing, I really wanted to build my barns bigger; I wanted a place to lay it up in, for the increase of the corn now yielded me so much, that I had of the barley about twenty bushels, and of the rice as much or more; insomuch that now I resolved to begin to use it freely; for my bread had been quite gone a great while; also I resolved to see what quantity would be sufficient for me a whole year, and to sow but once a year.
Ik had nu ongeveer twintig schepels graan en schier even veel rijst, zoodat ik het nu vrij durfde gebruiken, want mijn brood was reeds lang op. Ik besloot nu ook te zien hoe veel ik voor een geheel jaar noodig had, en dan slechts eenmaal 's jaars te zaaijen.
