I had tortoise or turtle enough, but now and then one was as much as I could put to any use: I had timber enough to have built a fleet of ships; and I had grapes enough to have made wine, or to have cured into raisins, to have loaded that fleet when it had been built.
Ik had overvloed van schildpadvleesch, nu en dan een was voor mij genoeg. Ik had hout genoeg om eene geheele vloot te bouwen, en genoeg druiven om die vloot met wijn of rozijnen te laden, als zij gebouwd was.
