I gave him a cake of my bread, and he devoured it like a ravenous wolf that had been starving a fortnight in the snow; I then gave the poor creature some fresh water, with which, if I would have let him, he would have burst himself.
Le di un pedazo de pan y se lo comió como si fuese un lobo famélico que hubiese pasado quince días sin alimento en la nieve. Después le di un poco de agua y, si lo hubiese dejado, el pobre animal habría bebido hasta reventar.
