After a short silence, the same person told me, "that his friends and mine (so he thought fit to express himself) were very much pleased with the judicious remarks I had made on the great happiness and advantages of immortal life, and they were desirous to know, in a particular manner, what scheme of living I should have formed to myself, if it had fallen to my lot to have been born a struldbrug."
Isilaldi labur baten ondoren, pertsona berak esan zidan bere lagunak eta nireak (horrelaxe adierazteari iritzi baitzion egoki) oso-oso pozik zeudela bizitza hilezkorraren zoriontasun eta abantaila handiez egin nituen oharpen zuhurrekin, eta struldbrugg jaiotzeko zoria egokitu izan balitzait zer bizitza-mota jarraituko nukeen jakiteko gogo bizia zutela, batez ere.
