Pasaron ocho días sin que el capitán volviese a verme. Según$^{(35)}$ pude entender, no había parecido por allí$^{(36)}$ desde la tarde que le hice la buenaventura; cosa que nada tenía de raro, a lo que me
contó$^{[5-12]}$ uno de mis guardianes.
—Sepa V. (me dijo) que el Jefe se va al infierno$^{[5-13]}$ de vez en cuando,$^{(37)}$ y no vuelve hasta que se le antoja.—Ello es$^{[6-1]}$ que nosotros
no sabemos nada de lo que hace durante sus largas ausencias.
A todo esto, a fuerza de$^{(38)}$ ruegos, y como pago de haber dicho serían ahorcados y que llevarían$^{[6-2]}$ una vejez muy tranquila, había
yo conseguido que por las tardes me sacasen de la cueva y me atasen a un árbol, pues en mi encierro me ahogaba de calor.
Pero excuso decir que nunca faltaban a mi lado un par de centinelas.
Una tarde, a eso$^{(39)}$ de las seis, los ladrones que habían salido
de servicio$^{[6-3]}$ aquel día a las órdenes del segundo de parrón, regresaron al campamento, llevando consigo, maniatado como pintan a nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, a un pobre segador de cuarenta a cincuenta años, cuyas lamentaciones partían el alma.
—¡Dadme mis veinte duros! (decía.) ¡Ah! ¡Si supierais con qué afanes los he ganado! ¡Todo un verano segando bajo el fuego del sol!... ¡Todo un verano lejos de mi pueblo, de mi mujer y de mis hijos!$^{[6-4]}$—¡Así he reunido, con mil sudores y privaciones, esa suma, con que podríamos vivir este invierno!...
¡Y cuando ya voy de vuelta,$^{[6-5]}$ deseando abrazarlos y pagar las deudas que para comer hayan hecho aquellos infelices, ¿cómo he de perder$^{[6-6]}$ ese dinero, que es para mí un tesoro?—¡Piedad, señores! ¡Dadme mis veinte duros! ¡Dádmelos, por
los dolores de María Santísima!
Una carcajada de burla contestó a las quejas del pobre padre.
Yo temblaba de horror en el árbol a que estaba atado; porque los gitanos también tenemos familia.
—No seas$^{[6-7]}$ loco.... (exclamó al fin un bandido, dirigiéndose
al segador.)—Haces mal en pensar en$^{(41)}$ tu dinero, cuando tienes cuidados mayores en que ocuparte....
—¡Cómo!—dijo el segador, sin comprender que hubiese desgracia más grande que dejar sin pan a sus hijos.
—¡Estás en poder de Parrón!
—Parrón.... ¡No le conozco!... Nunca lo he oído nombrar.... ¡Vengo de muy lejos! Yo soy de Alicante,$^{[7-1]}$ y
he estado segando en Sevilla.$^{[7-2]}$
—Pues, amigo mío, Parrón quiere decir$^{(42)}$ la muerte. Todo el que$^{(43)}$ cae en nuestro poder es preciso que muera. Así,
pues, haz testamento en dos minutos y encomienda el alma en otros dos.—¡Preparen!$^{[7-3]}$ ¡Apunten!—Tienes cuatro minutos.
—Voy a aprovecharlos.... ¡Oídme, por compasión!...
—Habla.$^{(40)}$
—Tengo seis hijos$^{[7-4]}$... y una infeliz...—diré viuda..., pues veo que voy a morir....—Leo en vuestros ojos que sois
peores que fieras.... ¡Sí, peores! Porque las fieras de una misma especie no se devoran unas a otras.$^{(44)}$—¡Ah! ¡Perdón!... No sé lo que me digo.$^{[7-5]}$—¡Caballeros, alguno de ustedes$^{[7-6]}$ será padre!... ¿No hay un padre entre vosotros? ¿Sabéis lo
que son seis niños pasando un invierno sin pan? ¿Sabéis lo que es una madre que ve morir a los hijos de sus entrañas, diciendo: «Tengo hambre..., tengo frío$^{(45)}$»?—Señores, ¡yo no quiero mi vida sino por ellos! ¿Qué es para mí la vida? ¡Una cadena de trabajos y privaciones!—¡Pero debo vivir para mis
hijos!... ¡Hijos míos!$^{[7-7]}$ ¡Hijos de mi alma!
Y el padre se arrastraba por el suelo, y levantaba hacia los ladrones una cara.... ¡Qué cara!... ¡Se parecía a$^{(46)}$ la$^{(47)}$ de los santos que el rey Nerón$^{[7-8]}$ echaba a los tigres, según dicen
los padres predicadores....
Los bandidos sintieron moverse algo dentro de$^{(48)}$ su pecho, pues se miraron unos a otros...; y viendo que todos estaban pensando la misma cosa, uno de ellos se atrevió a decirla....
—¿Qué dijo?—preguntó el Capitán general, profundamente
afectado por aquel relato.
—Dijo: «Caballeros, lo que vamos a hacer no lo sabrá nunca Parrón....»
—Nunca..., nunca...—tartamudearon los bandidos.
—Márchese V., buen hombre....—exclamó entonces uno que hasta lloraba.
Yo hice también señas al segador de que se fuese al instante.
El infeliz se levantó lentamente.
—Pronto.... ¡Márchese V.!—repitieron todos volviéndole la espalda.
El segador alargó la mano maquinalmente.
—¿Te parece poco? (gritó uno.)—¡Pues no quiere su
dinero!$^{[8-1]}$—Vaya..., vaya.... ¡No nos tiente V. la paciencia! El pobre padre se alejó llorando, y a poco$^{(49)}$ desapareció.
Media hora había transcurrido, empleada por los ladrones en jurarse unos a otros no decir nunca a su capitán que habían perdonado la vida a un hombre, cuando de pronto$^{(50)}$ apareció
Parrón, trayendo al segador en la grupa de su yegua.
Los bandidos retrocedieron espantados.
Parrón se apeó muy despacio, descolgó su escopeta de dos cañones, y, apuntando a sus camaradas, dijo:
—¡Imbéciles! ¡Infames! ¡No sé cómo$^{[8-2]}$ no os mato a todos!—¡Pronto! ¡Entregad a este hombre los duros que le habéis robado!$^{[8-3]}$
Los ladrones sacaron los veinte duros y se los$^{[8-4]}$ dieron al segador, el cual se arrojó a los pies de aquel personaje que dominaba a los bandoleros y que tan buen corazón tenía....
Parrón le dijo:
—¡A la paz de Dios!$^{[8-5]}$—Sin las indicaciones de V., nunca hubiera dado con ellos. ¡Ya ve V. que desconfiaba de mí sin motivo!... He cumplido mi promesa.... Ahí tiene V. sus veinte duros....—Conque... ¡en marcha!
El segador lo abrazó repetidas veces$^{(51)}$ y se alejó lleno de júbilo. Pero no habría andado$^{[8-6]}$ cincuenta pasos, cuando su bienhechor lo llamó de nuevo.
El pobre hombre se apresuró a volver pies atrás.$^{[8-7]}$
—¿Qué manda V.?—le preguntó, deseando ser útil al que había devuelto la felicidad a su familia. —¿Conoce V. a Parrón?—le preguntó él mismo.
—No lo conozco.
—¡Te equivocas!$^{(52)}$ (replicó el bandolero.) Yo soy Parrón.
El segador se quedó estupefacto.$^{[9-1]}$
Parrón se echó la escopeta a la cara$^{[9-2]}$ y descargó los dos
tiros contra el segador, que cayó redondo$^{[9-3]}$ al suelo.
—¡Maldito seas!$^{[9-4]}$—fué lo único que pronunció.
En medio del terror que me quitó la vista, observé que el árbol en que yo estaba atado se estremecía ligeramente y que
mis ligaduras se aflojaban.
Una de las balas, después de herir$^{(53)}$ al segador, había dado en la cuerda que me ligaba al tronco y la había roto.
Yo disimulé que estaba libre, y esperé una ocasión para escaparme.
Entretanto decía Parrón a los suyos, señalando al segador:
—Ahora podéis robarlo.—Sois unos$^{(54)}$ imbéciles..., ¡unos canallas!$^{[9-5]}$ ¡Dejar a ese hombre, para que se fuera, como se
fué, dando gritos por los caminos reales!... Si conforme soy yo$^{[9-6]}$ quien se$^{[9-7]}$ lo encuentra y se entera de lo que pasaba, hubieran sido los migueletes$^{[9-8]}$ habría dado vuestras señas y las
de nuestra guarida, como me las ha dado a mí, y estaríamos ya todos en la cárcel!—¡Ved las consecuencias de robar sin matar!—Conque basta ya de sermón y enterrad ese cadáver para que no apeste.
Mientras los ladrones hacían el hoyo y Parrón se sentaba a
merendar dándome la espalda,$^{[9-9]}$ me alejé poco a poco$^{(55)}$ del árbol y me descolgué al barranco próximo....
Ya era de$^{(56)}$ noche. Protegido por sus sombras salí a todo escape,$^{[9-10]}$ y, a la luz de las estrellas, divisé mi borrico, que comía
allí tranquilamente, atado a una encina. Montéme en él, y no he parado hasta llegar aquí....
Por consiguiente, señor, déme V. los mil reales, y yo daré las señas de Parrón, el cual se ha quedado con$^{[9-11]}$ mis tres duros y medio....
Dictó el gitano la filiación del bandido; cobró desde luego$^{(57)}$ la suma ofrecida, y salió de la Capitanía general, dejando asombrados al Conde del Montijo y al sujeto, allí presente, que nos ha contado todos estos pormenores.
Réstanos ahora saber si acertó o no acertó Heredia al decir
la buenaventura a Parrón.

### Notes

(The first figures refer to the original pages of text, and second figures to the reference figures in text).
5-12: a lo que me contó: in view of what... told me.
5-13: se va al infierno: translate disappears. (Infierno = infernal regions.)
6-1: ello es: the fact is.
6-2: llevarían: would live. Cf. lleva diez años de casado, he has been married ten years.
6-3: de servicio: on service, on duty.
6-4: hijos: children.
6-5: voy de vuelta: I am returning.
6-6: cómo he de perder: how am I to suffer the loss? Cf. note había de conocer, p. 3, 4.
6-7: no seas: don't be. Observe that the imperative is never used negatively, being then replaced by the subjunctive.
7-1: Alicante: a port on the eastern coast of Spain.
7-2: Sevilla: a city of southern Spain (Andalusia) on the Guadalquivir River. Also (as here) the province in which this city is situated.
7-3: Preparen: (sc. ustedes). This is an order addressed to the bandit's comrades.
7-4: Tengo seis hijos: observe that tener (to have) does not take the preposition a before its personal direct object, which likewise omits a when preceded by a numeral, unless certain specific persons are referred to.
7-5: lo que me digo: me is an ethical dative (indicating the person interested). Omit in translating.
7-6: ustedes: the polite form ustedes is in this single instance substituted in the peasant's speech for vosotros, by attraction after the ceremonious word Caballeros. Observe that the bandits end by addressing the peasant as usted likewise.
7-7: mis hijos... ¡Hijos míos!: observe the variant forms mis and
míos. For explanation see any grammar (possessive adjectives).
7-8: el rey Nerón: (i.e. el emperador). The Roman emperor Nero (reigned A.D. 54-68) persecuted the Christians, burning them as torches before his palace and making them fight with wild beasts in the arena.
8-1: ¡Pues no quiere su dinero!: well! if he doesn't actually want his money too!
8-2: No sé cómo: I don't know why.
8-3: le habéis robado: for dative le cf. note tomado a este hombre, p. 4, 3.
8-4: se los: cf. note se la, p. 4, 6.
8-5: ¡A la paz de Dios!: (a familiar formula of leavetaking) God be with you, good-by, etc.
8-6: No habría andado: he could not have gone. The conditional mood is often employed to express conjecture as to a (usually) past event, just as the future indicative is used to express conjecture about a (usually) present event.
8-7: volver pies atrás: retrace his steps.
9-1: estupefacto: words having originally an initial s followed by a consonant prefix an e on becoming Spanish, as: estupor, stupor;
escuela, school.
9-2: se echó... a la cara: brought up to a level with his face. Cf. also note la mano, p. 4, 5.
9-3: cayó redondo: fell suddenly (collapsed).
9-4: maldito seas: a rather exceptional use of the subjunctive for the imperative, though common with the verb ser. Cf. last line, page 124.
9-5: unos canallas: canalla is feminine in its usual collective meaning: rabble. Applied to an individual, however, it agrees in gender.
9-6: Si conforme soy yo: if, just as it was (lit. is) I.
9-7: se: (ethical dative). Cf. note lo que me digo, p. 7, 5.
9-8: migueletes: militiamen, serving as police for the suppression of brigandage.

# GNU Free Documentation License

Version 1.3, 3 November 2008 Copyright (C) 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

## 0. PREAMBLE

The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft license designed for free software.
We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free software, because free software needs free documentation: a free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

## 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission under copyright law.
A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.
The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. If a section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, represented in a format whose specification is available to the general public, that is suitable for revising the document straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
The "publisher" means any person or entity that distributes copies of the Document to the public.
A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".) To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according to this definition.
The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has no effect on the meaning of this License.

## 2. VERBATIM COPYING

You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and you may publicly display copies.

## 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY

If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.
If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from which the general network-using public has access to download using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the public.
It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.

## 4. MODIFICATIONS

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
* Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
* List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you from this requirement.
* State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified Version, as the publisher.
* Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
* Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications adjacent to the other copyright notices.
* Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
* Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
* Include an unaltered copy of this License.
* Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title, and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in the previous sentence.
* Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a work that was published at least four years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
* For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
* Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
* Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not be included in the Modified version.
* Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
* Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.
You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

## 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS

You may combine the Document with other documents released under this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but different contents, make the title of each such section unique by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled "History" in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements".

## 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

## 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole aggregate.

## 8. TRANSLATION

Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special permission from their copyright holders, but you may include translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a translation of this License, and all the license notices in the Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include the original English version of this License and the original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between the translation and the original version of this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual title.

## 9. TERMINATION

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, receipt of a copy of some or all of the same material does not give you any rights to use it.

## 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE

The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.
Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If the Document specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of this License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Document.

## 11. RELICENSING

"Massive Multiauthor Collaboration Site" (or "MMC Site") means any World Wide Web server that publishes copyrightable works and also provides prominent facilities for anybody to edit those works. A public wiki that anybody can edit is an example of such a server. A "Massive Multiauthor Collaboration" (or "MMC") contained in the site means any set of copyrightable works thus published on the MMC site.
"CC-BY-SA" means the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license published by Creative Commons Corporation, a not-for-profit corporation with a principal place of business in San Francisco, California, as well as future copyleft versions of that license published by that same organization.
"Incorporate" means to publish or republish a Document, in whole or in part, as part of another Document.
An MMC is "eligible for relicensing" if it is licensed under this License, and if all works that were first published under this License somewhere other than this MMC, and subsequently incorporated in whole or in part into the MMC, (1) had no cover texts or invariant sections, and (2) were thus incorporated prior to November 1, 2008.
The operator of an MMC Site may republish an MMC contained in the site under CC-BY-SA on the same site at any time before August 1, 2009, provided the MMC is eligible for relicensing.

# How to use this License for your documents

To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page:
    Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME.
    Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
    under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3
    or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
    with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
    A copy of the license is included in the section entitled "GNU
    Free Documentation License".
If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
    with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the
    Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST.
If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation.
If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software.
