Sometimes his father would wake up and say to Gregor's mother "you're doing so much sewing again today!", as if he did not know that he had been dozing - and then he would go back to sleep again while mother and sister would exchange a tired grin.
A veces el padre se despertaba y, como si no supiera que había dormido, decía a la madre: «¡Cuánto coses hoy también!», e inmediatamente volvía a dormirse mientras la madre y la hermana se sonreían mutuamente.
