One evening, in the beginning of June, I had stayed out very late with Mary Ann in the wood; we had, as usual, separated ourselves from the others, and had wandered far; so far that we lost our way, and had to ask it at a lonely cottage, where a man and woman lived, who looked after a herd of half-wild swine that fed on the mast in the wood.
Una tarde, a principios de junio, estuve en el bosque con Mary Ann hasta muy tarde. Como de costumbre, nos habíamos separado de las demás y nos alejamos tanto que nos extraviamos.
