Barbara Kingsolver: "Sebagai ganti rasa susu bubuk pertamanya, Pascal...

"Sebagai ganti rasa susu bubuk pertamanya, Pascal menunjukkan padaku sebuah pohon yang bisa kami panjat untuk menemukan sarang burung. Setelah kami menangani dan memeriksa bayi burung berkulit merah muda itu, dia memasukkan salah satu dari mereka ke mulutnya seperti jujube. Tampaknya dia sangat senang. Dia menawarkan bayi burung kepada saya, pantomim bahwa saya harus memakannya. Saya mengerti benar apa yang dia maksud, tetapi saya menolak. Dia tampaknya tidak kecewa harus makan seluruh induk sendiri."

--- Barbara Kingsolver

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In exchange for his first taste of powdered milk, Pascal showed me a tree we could climb to find a bird's nest. After we handled and examined the pink-skinned baby birds, he popped one of them into his mouth like a jujube. It seemed to please him a lot. He offered a baby bird to me, pantomiming that I should eat it. I understood perfectly well what he meant, but I refused. He did not seem disappointed to have to eat the whole brood himself.
