I was about three months hedging in the first piece; and, till I had done it, I tethered the three kids in the best part of it, and used them to feed as near me as possible, to make them familiar; and very often I would go and carry them some ears of barley, or a handful of rice, and feed them out of my hand; so that after my enclosure was finished and I let them loose, they would follow me up and down, bleating after me for a handful of corn.
Gyakran etettem őket a kezemből árpával vagy rizzsel. Mire elkészült a kerítés, már folyton ott ügettek a nyomomban, és mekegésükkel jelezték, hogy kérnek egy marék gabonát.
