First, I was amazed how the creature got thither; and then, how he should just keep about the place, and nowhere else; but as I was well satisfied it could be nobody but honest Poll, I got over it; and holding out my hand, and calling him by his name, “Poll,” the sociable creature came to me, and sat upon my thumb, as he used to do, and continued talking to me, “Poor Robin Crusoe! and how did I come here? and where had I been?” just as if he had been overjoyed to see me again; and so I carried him home along with me.
A társaságszerető kis lény odarepült és rátelepedett a hüvelykujjamra, ahogy szokott. Majd tovább mondta a magáét - hol voltam én, a szegény Robin Crusoe, honnan jövök? - mintha nem bírna betelni a viszontlátás örömével.
