When, again, I was shipwrecked, ruined, and in danger of drowning on this island, I was as far from remorse, or looking on it as a judgment. I only said to myself often, that I was an unfortunate dog, and born to be always miserable.
Cuando, nuevamente, naufragué y me vi perdido y en peligro de morir ahogado en esta isla, no sentí el menor remordimiento ni lo vi como un castigo justo; tan solo me repetía una y otra vez que era un perro desgraciado, nacido para ser siempre miserable.
