Three leagues from this valley there is a village which, though small, is one of the richest in all this neighbourhood, and in it there lived a farmer, a very worthy man, and so much respected that, although to be so is the natural consequence of being rich, he was even more respected for his virtue than for the wealth he had acquired.
-«Tres leguas deste valle está una aldea que, aunque pequeña, es de las más ricas que hay en todos estos contornos; en la cual había un labrador muy honrado, y tanto, que, aunque es anexo al ser rico el ser honrado, más lo era él por la virtud que tenía que por la riqueza que alcanzaba.
