These things, and the approach of night, called us off, or else, as Friday would have had us, we should certainly have taken the skin of this monstrous creature off, which was worth saving; but we had near three leagues to go, and our guide hastened us; so we left him, and went forward on our journey.
Viernes nos sugirió que le quitásemos la piel a aquel monstruoso animal, pues valía la pena conservarla, pero todavía nos quedaban tres leguas que recorrer y el guía comenzaba a mostrarse impaciente. Lo dejamos, pues, y proseguimos nuestro camino.
