The cries of the poor blanketed wretch were so loud that they reached the ears of his master, who, halting to listen attentively, was persuaded that some new adventure was coming, until he clearly perceived that it was his squire who uttered them. Wheeling about he came up to the inn with a laborious gallop, and finding it shut went round it to see if he could find some way of getting in; but as soon as he came to the wall of the yard, which was not very high, he discovered the game that was being played with his squire.
Las voces que el mísero manteado daba fueron tantas, que llegaron a los oídos de su amo; el cual, determinándose a escuchar atentamente, creyó que alguna nueva aventura le venía, hasta que claramente conoció que el que gritaba era su escudero; y, volviendo las riendas, con un penado galope llegó a la venta, y, hallándola cerrada, la rodeó por ver si hallaba por donde entrar; pero no hubo llegado a las paredes del corral, que no eran muy altas, cuando vio el mal juego que se le hacía a su escudero.
