However, for the present I let him go, knowing no better at that time: then I went to the three kids, and taking them one by one, I tied them with strings together, and with some difficulty brought them all home.
No obstante, lo dejé ir, porque no se me ocurrió nada mejor en el momento. Entonces fui donde los más pequeños, los cogí, uno a uno, los amarré a todos juntos con un cordel y los traje a casa sin ninguna dificultad.
