La compra del borrico (English)

La compra del borrico (English)

True old gypsy had a donkey that was no longer good for anything. Then it occurred to him to sell it, but as the donkey was so old that nobody thought would give him more than three pesetas (Spanish money). A more mischievous gossip that he still gave an idea that the Gypsies took them very thankfully, and here is the donkey become pretty horse. The gypsy came to market with their donkey dressed, and then people started to notice it.

"Listen, pal. You sell that donkey?

"For what he's worth, I give it cheap, but I understand to be sold and are not the time to ask what they really worth the ass of my soul.

A fat man carrying a donkey belly almost as sad as that of gypsy, although it was disguised, intervened.

"Well, folks. Do not entertain the gossip if you will not buy. I need a donkey because I bring it no use to me.

They were haggling over an hour, as the gypsy called an astronomical price, ensuring that ass was a descendant of Noah took with him into the ark.

The fat man at last was persuaded and paid a lot of coins but as the Gypsy had lowered enough of the nonsense that he asked at first, it was so happy thinking he had done a wonderful business.

Meanwhile, the fat man ran through the streets carrying the donkey of the Ark of Noah, who in fact could be the same for his age. Very proud of the purchase he had made his neighbors showed him like a jewel.

Suddenly he realized that a little old man was following him a long while, watching and rewatched the animal and without a word. Disgusted because they praised it, the fat old man questioned.

"What's wrong? It turns me off my ass or do you envy?

"God save me from that ugly default, buddy! What I am looking at is that this animal does not walk well with his left foot. I would say that is lame.

The fat man replied irritably:

"So are limp!, And you squint you see as evil. An animal so precious! One need only see ...

The old man was not discouraged:

"So I say, that would be seen, because you've seen him on the donkey costumes, but what is the body clean, I think not.

The lame donkey increasingly tired of walking.

And the old man, impatient, said:

"Well, why not you take away the clothes? Is that you fear?

When removed almost fainted the master. Scars, wounds ... Why go on to enumerate? This was not a donkey, was an exhibition of misfortunes. No wonder cojease. The strange thing is that you may have standing, the poor beast.

The fat man was pulling his hair in despair.

"This donkey is not worth a shilling," said no fury. What do I argue with him?

The old man advised him ironic:

"You can take him to a hospital if you admit it. So learn to trust a non-appearances. You let yourself be dazzled by gold, bonds and the sets, which made this esquelto in an advertisement, and do not worry nothing that could have hidden behind so much disguise. Now you've had your reward for unwary.
