Después de alimentarlo, lo até como lo había hecho antes pero esta vez estaba tan manso por el hambre, que casi no tenía que haberlo hecho, pues me seguía como un perro. Según iba alimentándolo, el animal se volvió tan cariñoso, amable y tierno que se convirtió en una de mis mascotas y ya nunca me abandonó.
