HE AMUSED HIMSELF WITH HIS MONKEY

Today I learned that it depends on the translation of Johann David Wyss' "Swiss Family Robinson" whether the phrase "Fritz amused himself with his monkey" appears.

Project Gutenberg has the non-monkey-amused version, but the physical copy I have and the Wikipedia version have Fritz adequately monkey-amused.

You know which version I prefer.
