The first shot I made among these creatures, I killed a she-goat, which had a little kid by her, which she gave suck to, which grieved me heartily; for when the old one fell, the kid stood stock still by her, till I came and took her up; and not only so, but when I carried the old one with me, upon my shoulders, the kid followed me quite to my enclosure; upon which I laid down the dam, and took the kid in my arms, and carried it over my pale, in hopes to have bred it up tame; but it would not eat; so I was forced to kill it and eat it myself.
Az első, irányukba leadott lövésemmel megöltem egy anyaállatot, amelyhez nagy sajnálatomra egy szopós kiskecske tartozott, és amikor a nősténykecske összerogyott, a kicsinye mozdulatlanul állt mellette mindaddig, míg odaértem és felvettem a tetemet. Sőt mi több, amikor a zsákmányommal a vállamon hazafelé indultam, a kecskegida végig követett.
