Thus slowly and silently they made, it might be, two leagues, until they reached a valley which the carter thought a convenient place for resting and feeding his oxen, and he said so to the curate, but the barber was of opinion that they ought to push on a little farther, as at the other side of a hill which appeared close by he knew there was a valley that had more grass and much better than the one where they proposed to halt; and his advice was taken and they continued their journey.
Y así, con aquel espacio y silencio caminaron hasta dos leguas, que llegaron a un valle, donde le pareció al boyero ser lugar acomodado para reposar y dar pasto a los bueyes; y, comunicándolo con el cura, fue de parecer el barbero que caminasen un poco más, porque él sabía, detrás de un recuesto que cerca de allí se mostraba, había un valle de más yerba y mucho mejor que aquel donde parar querían. Tomóse el parecer del barbero, y así, tornaron a proseguir su camino.
