Accordingly, the next day I went to my country house, as I called it, and cutting some of the smaller twigs, I found them to my purpose as much as I could desire; whereupon I came the next time prepared with a hatchet to cut down a quantity, which I soon found, for there was great plenty of them.
Al día siguiente, fui a mi casa de campo, como solía llamarla, y cuando corté unas ramas, me parecieron tan adecuadas para mis fines como podía desear. Entonces, regresé otra vez, equipado con una azuela para cortar una mayor cantidad de ellas, lo cual resultó muy fácil dada la abundancia de estos árboles.
