However, as the sun baked these two very dry and hard, I lifted them very gently up, and set them down again in two great wicker baskets, which I had made on purpose for them, that they might not break; and as between the pot and the basket there was a little room to spare, I stuffed it full of the rice and barley straw; and these two pots being to stand always dry I thought would hold my dry corn, and perhaps the meal, when the corn was bruised.
No obstante, cuando el sol los secó hasta dejarlos muy duros, los levanté con mucho cuidado y los coloqué en dos grandes cestos de mimbre, que había tejido, expresamente, para ellos, a fin de que no se rompieran. Entre cada cacharro y su correspondiente cesto había un poco de espacio, que rellené con paja de arroz y cebada.
