TranslationSome people say that they are fish, and others
say that they are birds who fly on the sea. But take
it as you wish, for now I will move on from
speaking more on this matter, in order to tell
you about the marvelous trees that grow in India.
There are many different kinds bearing various

[rubric:] This speaks of the trees that there in in India. [/rubric]
In India there grows a very large and beautiful tree that
is called the palm. It bears dates, a very good and
marvelously healthy fruit. There are also apple trees
that are so full of large apples having the most wonderful
smell possible, and they cluster together, a hundred
in a bunch. And the leaves that grow on these apple
trees are two feet long and a foot wide. Other apples
grow to great size and weight, and they appear to have been
bitten into by a man with all his teeth. They are called apples | Page 138les ungs dient que che sont poissons. Et les aultres
