The goatherd's tale gave great satisfaction to all the hearers, and the canon especially enjoyed it, for he had remarked with particular attention the manner in which it had been told, which was as unlike the manner of a clownish goatherd as it was like that of a polished city wit; and he observed that the curate had been quite right in saying that the woods bred men of learning.
General gusto causó el cuento del cabrero a todos los que escuchado le habían; especialmente le recibió el canónigo, que con estraña curiosidad notó la manera con que le había contado, tan lejos de parecer rústico cabrero cuan cerca de mostrarse discreto cortesano; y así, dijo que había dicho muy bien el cura en decir que los montes criaban letrados.
