Besides these I always kept two or three household kids about me, whom I taught to feed out of my hand; and I had two more parrots, which talked pretty well, and would all call “Robin Crusoe,” but none like my first; nor, indeed, did I take the pains with any of them that I had done with him.
También conservaba siempre dos o tres cabras domésticas, que aprendieron a comer de mi mano, y dos loros más que hablaban bastante bien y me llamaban Robinson Crusoe. Mas ninguno como el primero, aunque, a decir verdad, nunca me preocupé por ellos como por aquel.
