I presented my gun at her, but, as she did not understand it, she was perfectly unconcerned at it, nor did she offer to stir away; upon which I tossed her a bit of biscuit, though by the way, I was not very free of it, for my store was not great: however, I spared her a bit, I say, and she went to it, smelled at it, and ate it, and looked (as if pleased) for more; but I thanked her, and could spare no more: so she marched off.
Entonces le tiré un pedazo de galleta, de las que, por cierto, no tenía demasiadas, pues mis provisiones eran bastante escasas; como decía, le arrojé un pedazo y se acercó, lo olfateó, se lo comió, y se quedó mirando, como agradecido y esperando a que le diera más. Le di a entender cortésmente que no podía darle más y se marchó.
