That he may obtain a reply to this double question, he resolves to traverse the country in its whole extent. At the very commencement of his journey, the immo- bility of a bird sufhces to give to the doubt, on which his thoughts vacillate, the appearance almost of a certainty. This bird is a toucan, of brilliant plumage and mon- strous beak. Selkirk passes near it, with his eyes OR THE REAL ROBINSON CRUSOE. 41 fixed on the branch which serves as a perch, and the toucan, without stirring, looks ...at him with a species of calm and placid astonishment. Selkirk stops ; he comprehends the mute language of the bird. ' You do not know then what a man is ! He is the enemy of every creature to whom God has given life, the enemy even of his kind ! You have then never been threatened by the arms that I bear ! ' And with the palm of his hand, striking the butt of his gun, he made the hammer click. At the sound of his voice, as at the noise of the hammer, the bird raised its head, manifesting new and redoubled surprise, but without any other movement.
