This touched me sensibly, for I foresaw that in a few days they would devour all my hopes; that I should be starved, and never be able to raise a crop at all; and what to do I could not tell; however, I resolved not to lose my corn, if possible, though I should watch it night and day.
Esto me inquietó mucho pues preveía que en pocos días se habrían comido mis esperanzas, dejándome sin alimento, y sin posibilidades de volver a sembrar nunca. No sabía qué hacer.
