I did, after some painstaking, catch a young parrot, for I knocked it down with a stick, and having recovered it, I brought it home; but it was some years before I could make him speak; however, at last I taught him to call me by name very familiarly.
Némi kínlódás után sikerült is fognom egy fiatal példányt. Egy bottal ütöttem le, de nem szenvedett súlyos sérülést, és így hazavihettem.
