La Apuesta
La Apuesta (Spanish)
Un erizo estaba tranquilamente tomando el sol cuando vio aparecer ante él a la señora liebre. Esta nada más verlo empezó a burlarse de él.
-Qué, señor erizo? -le decía-, y si echáramos una carrerita? Parece que te veo en bueno forma, a lo mejor me ganabas. Apostaría contigo veinte duros, aceptas?
-Desde luego, señora liebre. Mañana mismo haremos una carrera. Venga aquí a esta misma hora y veremos quién gana a quién.
-En mi vida he oído decir una tontería más grande -dijo la liebre-, ya puedes prepararte a perder los veinte duros porque seguro que gano yo.
El erizo no dijo nada y la dejó marchar. Tan pronto como vio que la liebre se había ido, el animalito llamó a un erizo amigo suyo y le dijo:
-Compadre, quieres que le ganemos veinte duros a la liebre?
-Hombre, claro, pero cómo? Qué hay que hacer?
-Muy sencillo, echaremos una carrera y quien gane tendrá los veinte duros.
-Desgraciado: y tú piensas ganarle a la liebre?
-Lo que yo pienso es engañar a esa presumida sabelotodo. Mira, haremos una cosa: yo fingiré emprender la carrera con ella y me quedaré atrás en seguida; tú, desde un principio, te habrás colocado al otro lado del campo; entonces cuando llegue la liebre al otro extremo del terreno se encontrará contigo; como nos parecemos tanto será incapaz de darse cuenta de la superchería y le habremos ganado los veinte duros.
-Me parece una treta estupenda- contestó el otro erizo.
La liebre se reía a más y mejor mientras le decía al erizo colocado a su lado dispuesto a emprender la carrera:
- Señor erizo, tenga bien a punto los veinte duros porque en menos de un minuto se los habré ganado.
-Eso ya se verá- contestó filosóficamente el erizo.
El erizo dio la señal de partida, la liebre salió veloz como el viento, y en menos de un minuto se plantó al otro lado del campo, pero cuál no sería su sorpresa al encontrarse allí con el señor erizo, y no con cara de cansado precisamente.
- Señora liebre, en eso de correr aún hay quien te gana. Vengan los veinte duros y a presumir a otra parte. Vamos! No dudarás, verdad?
La liebre con las orejas gachas sacó los veinte duros de debajo de una piedra y se los dio al erizo. Luego se fue a su casita y estuvo encerrada dentro casi un año. No se atrevía ni a salir. Se moría de vergüenza sólo de pensar en lo que se iban a reír de ella los otros animales cuando se enterasen.

La Apuesta (English)
A hedgehog was quietly basking in the sun when he saw before him the lady rabbit. This on sight began to mock him.
"What, sir hedgehog? "I said," and if echáramos a run? It seems that I see you in good shape, maybe I ganabas. I bet you twenty dollars, do you?
"Certainly, madam hare. Tomorrow we will race. Come here to this very hour and see who beats whom.
"In my life I've heard nonsense bigger," said the hare, and you prepare yourself to lose twenty dollars for sure I win.
The hedgehog said nothing and let her go. As soon as he saw the hare was gone, the little animal called a hedgehog friend and said:
"My friend, you twenty dollars to win the hare?
"Well, of course, but how? What to do?
"Very simply, we will take a race and whoever wins will have the twenty dollars.
"Woe: and you think to beat the hare?
"What I think is such a smug know-it trick. Look, we do one thing: I'll pretend to take the race with her and I'll be back soon, you, from the beginning, you have already placed across the field, then when you get the hare at the other end of the field will meet you, as We both seem to be unable to realize the deception and we will have won him the twenty dollars.
"Sounds like a great trick," said another hedgehog.
The hare laughed more and better as he said the hedgehog placed at his side ready to take the race:
- Mr Hedgehog, have about twenty good hard because in less than a minute he's been won.
"That will be answered philosophically the hedgehog.
The hedgehog gave the starting signal, the hare went swift as the wind, and in less than a minute he stood across the field, but what was his surprise at being there with Mr. Hedgehog, not tired face precisely.
- Madam hare running in that some people still beats you. Come and show off the twenty dollars elsewhere. Come on! Not doubt, right?
The rabbit with floppy ears got the twenty dollars from under a stone and gave them to the urchin. Then he went to his house and was confined within about a year. Do not even dare to leave. Was mortified at the thought of what it would laugh the other animals when they found out.

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.

La compra del borrico (Spanish)
La compra del borrico (Spanish)
Cierto gitano tenía un borrico viejo que ya no le servía para nada. Entonces, se le ocurrió venderlo, pero como el burro era tan viejo, pensó que nadie le daría más allá de tres pesetas (dinero español). Un compadre más pícaro que él todavía, le dio una idea que el gitano aceptó muy agradecido, y aquí tenéis al borrico convertido en linda cabalgadura. El gitano llegó al mercado con su borrico vestido, y en seguida la gente empezó a fijarse en el.
-Oiga, compadre. Vende usted ese burro?
-Para lo que él vale, lo doy barato, pero comprendo que hay que vender y que no están los tiempos para pedir lo que en realidad vale el borrico de mi alma.
Un hombre gordo y barrigón que traía un borrico casi tan triste como el del gitano, aunque no iba disfrazado, intervino.
-Bueno, amigos. No entretengan al compadre si es que no van a comprar. Yo necesito un burro porque éste que traigo no me sirve para nada.
Estuvieron regateando más de una hora, pues el gitano pedía un precio astronómico, asegurando que aquel borrico era descendiente del que Noé llevó con él al Arca.
El hombre gordo, al fin, se dejó convencer y pagó un montón de monedas pero como el gitano le había rebajado bastante de la barbaridad que le pidió al principio, se fue tan satisfecho creyendo que había hecho un negocio estupendo.
Entretanto, el hombre gordo recorría las calles del pueblo llevando el burro del Arca de Noé, que, en realidad, podía ser el mismo por la edad que tenía. Muy orgulloso de la compra que había hecho lo mostraba a sus vecinos como si fuera una joya.
De pronto, se dio cuenta de que un viejecillo lo iba siguiendo desde hacía rato, mirando y remirando al animal y sin decir palabra. Disgustado porque no se lo alababa, el gordo interrogó al viejecillo.
-Qué te pasa? Es que no te gusta mi burro o es que tienes envidia?
-Dios me libre de tan feo defecto, amigo! Lo que voy mirando es que este animal no pisa bien con el pie izquierdo. Yo diría que cojea.
El hombre gordo, respondió molesto:
-Tú sí que cojeas!, y también eres bizco según lo mal que ves. Un animal tan precioso! No hay más que verlo...
El viejecillo no se amilanó:
-Eso digo yo, que habría que verlo, porque tú le has visto al burro las vestimentas, pero lo que es el cuerpo limpio, me parece que no.
El burro cojeaba cada vez más, cansado de tanto paseo.
Y el anciano, impaciente, indicó:
-Bueno, pero, por qué no le quitas las vestimentas? Es que tienes miedo?
Al quitárselas por poco se desmaya el amo. Cicatrices, llagas... Para qué seguir enumerando? Aquello no era un burro, era una exposición de desgracias. No era extraño que cojease. Lo raro es que se pudiera tener en pie, el pobre cuadrúpedo.
El hombre gordo, se tiraba de los pelos, desesperado.
-Este burro no vale no dos pesetas -decía furioso-. Qué hago yo ahora con él?
El viejecillo le aconsejó irónico:
-Puedes llevarlo a un hospital si te lo admiten. Y así aprenderás a no fiarte de apariencias. Tú te dejaste deslumbrar por el oro, los lazos y los decorados, que convertían a ese esquelto en un anuncio, y no te preocupaste nada de lo que pudiera haber escondido detrás de tanto disfraz. Ahora has tenido tu merecido por incauto.

Gueso y Pellejo (pg 153-154) (Spanish)
Y llegó el tiempo en que el ganado del Simón Robles aumentó y necesitaba mayor número de cuidadores, y también llegó el tiempo en que la Antuca debió hacerse cargo del rebaño, pues ya había crecido lo suficiente, aunque no tanto como para pasarse sin más ayuda que la Vicenta. Entonces, el Simón Robles dijo:
—De la parición que viene, separaremos otros dos perros para nosotros.
Y ellos fueron Güeso y Pellejo. El mismo Simón les puso nombre, pues amaba, además de tocar la flauta y la caja, poner nombres y contar historias. Designaba a sus animales y a las gentes de la vecindad con los más curiosos apelativos. A una china le puso «Pastora sin manada », y a un cholo de ronca voz «Trueno en ayunas»; a un caballo flaco, «Cortaviento», y a una gallina estéril, «Poneaire». Por darse el gusto de nombrarlos, se las echaba de moralista y forzudo, ensillaba con frecuencia a Cortaviento y se oponía a que su mujer matara la gallina. Al bautizar a los perros, dijo en el ruedo de la merienda:
—Que se llamen así, pues hay una historia, y ésta es que una viejita tenía dos perros: el uno se llamaba Güeso y el otro Pellejo. Y fue que un día la vieja salió de su casa con los perros, y entonces llegó un ladrón y se metió debajo de la cama. Volvió la señora por la noche y se dispuso a acostarse. El ladrón estaba calladito, esperando que ella se durmiera para ahogarla en silencio, sin que lo sintieran los perros y pescar las llaves de un cajón con plata. Y he allí que la vieja, al agacharse para coger la bacinica, le vio las patas al ladrón. Y como toda vieja es sabida, ésa también lo era. Y entonces se puso a lamentarse, como quien no quiere la cosa: «Ya estoy muy vieja; ¡ay, ya estoy muy vieja y muy flaca; güeso y pellejo no más estoy!» Y repetía cada vez más fuerte, como admirada: «¡güeso y pellejo!, ¡güeso y pellejo!». Y en eso, pues, oyeron los perros y vinieron corriendo. Ella les hizo una señita y los perros se fueron contra el ladrón, haciéndolo leña....
He aquí que por eso es bueno que estos perritos se llamen también Güeso y Pellejo.
La historia fue celebrada y los nombres, desde luego, aceptados. Pero la vivaz Antuca hubo de apuntar:
—¿Pero cómo para que adivine la vieja lo que iba a pasar y les ponga así?
El Simón Robles replicó:
—Se los puso y después dio la casualidad que valieran esos nombres... Así es en todo.
Y el Timoteo, arriesgando evidentemente el respeto lleno de mesura debido al padre, argumentó:
—Lo que es yo, digo que la vieja era muy de otra laya, porque no trancaba su puerta. Si no, no hubieran podido entrar los perros cuando llamaba. Y si es que los perros estaban dentro y no vieron entrar al ladrón, eran unos perros por demás zonzos...
El encanto de la historia había quedado roto. Hasta en torno del fogón, donde la simplicidad es tan natural como masticar el trigo, la lógica se entromete para enrevesar y desencantar al hombre. Pero el Simón Robles respondió como lo hubiera hecho cualquier relatista de más cancha:
—Cuento es cuento.

La Puerta del Infierno- pg 147
La Puerta del Infierno- pg 147 (Spanish)
¡Cómo sería el gozo de los avaros! Adentro
del pozo se oían los alegres gritos del cavador.
—¡Hay más; hay más! Y arriba, su mujer gritaba
también como loca: —¡Sácalo todo!
¡Todo! ¡Todo!
—Hay más —dijo el encapotado, quien llegó
en ese momento y, soltando una atroz carcajada,
agarró del pelo a la mujer y, de repente, la
echó al pozo.
Aquella misma mañana el raro visitante tomó
su tesoro y lo volvió a depositar en el pozo. Al
saber el señor cura lo que había ocurrido, fue a
la hacienda acompañado de mucha gente. Iba a
conjurar el lugar maldito. Pero con los exorcismos
se empeoró aquello. En efecto, porque al
caer el agua bendita que echó el cura, sucedió
una cosa tremenda. De la boca del pozo empezó
a salir un vocerío que causaba espanto. Eran los
alaridos de los condenados. Al oír los gritos, el
cura y sus compañeros comprendieron qué era
aquello, y echaron a correr. A tiempo lo hicieron,
porque el pozo infernal comenzó a arrojar
humo; y en seguida, una columna de fuego. Tal
es el origen de ese vómito de teshcal4 hirviente
que ya cuenta tantos siglos.
Así fue como aquellos compinches del Diablo,
por codiciosos, abrieron en su propia hacienda
la puerta del infierno, que así es como
los indios llaman al volcán Izalco. Y es artículo
de fe entre ellos, que allí se encuentran los
ricos que durante su vida fueron como los hacendados
de la leyenda.

How would the joy of misers! Inside
Well we heard the happy shouts of digger.
- There is more, there's more! And upstairs, his wife screamed
also like crazy: - Take full!
Everything! Everything!
"There's more," said the gloomy, who arrived
at that time and, uttering a horrible laugh,
Hair grabbed the woman and suddenly, the
jumped into the pit.
That same morning took the rare visitor
its treasury and deposit it back into the well. Al
know the priest what had happened, went to
accompanied finances of many people. I was going to
exorcise the damn place. But with exorcisms
things got worse. Indeed, since the
fall threw the holy water the priest, succeeded
a tremendous thing. From the mouth of the well began
a shouting out that caused alarm. They were the
screams of the damned. Hearing the screams, the
priest and his companions understood what was
that and ran. In time they did,
because the infernal pit began throwing
smoke, and then, a pillar of fire. Such
is the source of the vomiting of boiling teshcal
which already has so many centuries.
That's how those cronies of the Devil
by greedy, they opened their own finances
the gate of hell, that's how
the Indians call the volcano Izalco. And Article
of faith among them, that is where the
wealthy during his lifetime as the planters were
of legend.

¿Qué platicaron los patronos y el huésped?
Quizás algo muy interesante y divertido, porque estuvieron alegres, bebiendo hasta altas horas de la noche. Al amanecer partió el extraño amigo, prometiendo volver, y volvió
todas las noches. Así empezó la construcción
de la boca del volcán.
Conociendo aquel viajero la gran codicia de
los hacendados, les habló del fabuloso tesoro
que estaba enterrado allí, y luego celebraron
un trato para sacar el tesoro del fondo de la tierra. Tenían que hacer un pozo, cuya excavación quedaba a cargo del hacendado y su mujer, quienes deberían horadar cierto sitio indicado. El extraño personaje les prometió que llegaría todas las noches, sin falta, a supervisor la excavación.
Y así lo hicieron. Varios días después el pozo
tenía una profundidad enorme, aunque el cavador no hacía otra cosa sino echar la tierra en el barril que colgaba de la garrucha. Grande era éste; y, sin embargo, la mujer tiraba de la cuerda con mucha facilidad. ¡Es claro, había alguien que le ayudaba!
obra. Iba a sacar a su amigo, a quien le habría
sido imposible salir del pozo sin la ayuda del
poderoso compañero.
Y llegó el momento esperado. Una noche
apareció el tesoro. El barril salió repleto de oro

What employers and talked guest?
Maybe something very interesting and fun, because were happy, drinking late into the night. At dawn broke the strange
friend, promising to return, and returned
every night. Thus began the construction

Knowing that the great greed traveler
landowners, spoke of the fabulous treasure
he was buried there, and then held
a deal to get the treasure from the depths of the earth. They had to make a well, whose excavation was left to the landowner and his wife, who should pierce a right place.
The strange man promised that
come every night without fail, to monitor
excavation.
And they did. Several days after the well
had a tremendous depth, although the digger
did nothing but put the land in the
barrel hanging from the pulley. Great was
this, and yet, she pulled the
rope easily. Clearly, there was someone
that helped him!
Every night came the director of the
work. I was going to get his friend, who would have been impossible to leave the well without the help of powerful partner.
Then came the expected time. One night
appeared treasure. The left barrel full of gold
and precious stones. In the moonlight, that
stones of different colors was covered with fantastic flashes.
