I am as vexed as vexed can be that they have gathered no acorns this year in our village; for all that I send your highness about half a peck that I went to the wood to gather and pick out one by one myself, and I could find no bigger ones; I wish they were as big as ostrich eggs.
Pésame, cuanto pesarme puede, que este año no se han cogido bellotas en este pueblo; con todo eso, envío a vuesa alteza hasta medio celemín, que una a una las fui yo a coger y a escoger al monte, y no las hallé más mayores; yo quisiera que fueran como huevos de avestruz.
