I made a long journey one fine morning. I set out to travel across to the other side of my island.
Of course, I carried my gun with me. In my pocket were two biscuits. My dog followed behind me. I went past my summer house, and toward evening came to a fine open place close by the sea. It was a beautiful sight. The sky was clear and the air was quiet. The water stretched(延伸)away and away toward the setting sun.
I found this side of the island much more beautiful than that where my castle(城堡)was. Here were large, open fields, green with grass and sweet with flowers.
I saw many green parrots among the trees, and I thought how I would catch one and teach it to talk. After a great deal of time, I knocked a young one down with my stick. He was a good fighter, and it was no easy matter to get him. But at last I picked him up and put him in my bag.
He was not hurt, and I carried him home. It was a long time before I could make him talk. But at last, he became a great pet and would call me by my name.
Besides parrots there were many other birds in the woods.
I traveled very slowly around the island, for I wished to see everything. Often I did not go more than two miles in a day.
