By Jules Verne
Miramos hacia el bosque, sin levantarnos. Mi mano se había detenido en su movimiento hacia la boca, mientras la de Ned Land acababa el suyo. We looked at the edge of the forest without rising, my hand stopping in the action of putting it to my mouth. mientras la de Ned Land acababa la suya. Ned Land's completing its office.
-Una piedra no cae del cielo- dijo Conseil-, a menos que sea un aerolito. "Stones do not fall from the sky," remarked Conseil, "or they would merit the name of aërolites."
Una segunda piedra, perfectamente redondeada, que arrancó de la mano de Conseil un sabroso muslo de paloma, dio aún más peso a la observación que acababa de proferir. A second stone, carefully aimed, that made a savory pigeon's leg fall from Conseil's hand, gave still more weight to his observation. Nos incorporamos los tres, y tomando nuestros fusiles nos dispusimos a repeler todo ataque. We all three arose, shouldered our guns, and were ready to reply to any attack.
-¿Son monos?- preguntó Ned Land. "Are they apes?" cried Ned Land.
