There was no 'One, two, three, and away,' but they began running when they liked, and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over.
No hubo el «A la una, a las dos, a las tres, ya», sino que todos empezaron a correr cuando quisieron, y cada uno paró cuando quiso, de modo que no era fácil saber cuándo terminaba la carrera.
