Originally all the tame animals were wild, but especially the Cat: he walked by himself and all places were alike to him. The Man was wild too until he met the Woman, who chose a Cave for them to live in, lit a fire in it and hung a horsehide over the opening. She cooked a meal of wild ingredients. Le Chien était sauvage, et le Cheval était sauvage, et la Vache était sauvage, et le Cochon était sauvage — et ils se promenaient par les Chemins Mouillés du Bois Sauvage, tous sauvages et solitairement. Mais le plus sauvage de tous était le Chat. Il se promenait seul et tous lieux se valaient pour lui. Naturellement, l’Homme était sauvage aussi. Il était sauvage que c’en était affreux. Il ne commença à s’apprivoiser que du jour où il rencontra la Femme, et elle lui dit qu’elle n’aimait pas la sauvagerie de ses manières. Давным-давно, когда собака была дикая, лошадь была дикая, корова была дикая, овца была дикая, свинья была дикая, и эти дикие животные бродили по сырому дикому лесу. Но самым диким из них был кот. Он гулял один, где ему вздумается, и место для него не имело значения. Разумеется, и человек тоже был диким, совсем диким. Он даже не пытался усовершенствоваться, пока не встретил женщину, которая ему сказала, что ей вовсе не нравится такая дикая жизнь.
