But after I saw barley grow there, in a climate which I knew was not proper for corn, and especially that I knew not how it came there, it startled me strangely, and I began to suggest that God had miraculously caused His grain to grow without any help of seed sown, and that it was so directed purely for my sustenance on that wild, miserable place.
Mas cuando vi crecer aquel grano, en un clima que sabía inadecuado para los cereales y, sobre todo, sin saber cómo había llegado hasta allí, me sentí extrañamente sobrecogido y comencé a creer que Dios había hecho que este grano creciera milagrosamente, sin que nadie lo hubiese sembrado, únicamente para mi sustento en ese miserable lugar.
