translation.ca: Al cap de poc arreplega una palla i prova de gronxar-la damunt son nas, amb el cap decantat molt endarrera; i, mentre es movia d'una banda a l'altra en sos esforços, vorejava més i més el pensament: finalment son peu nu reposa damunt ell, els dits plegadissos del peu es clogueren damunt ell, i el noi partí fent gambades amb el seu tresor i desaparegué per la cantonada.
translation.en: Presently he picked up a straw and began trying to balance it on his nose, with his head tilted far back; and as he moved from side to side, in his efforts, he edged nearer and nearer toward the pansy; finally his bare foot rested upon it, his pliant toes closed upon it, and he hopped away with the treasure and disappeared round the corner.
