This was how Gregor received his food each day now, once in the morning while his parents and the maid were still asleep, and the second time after everyone had eaten their meal at midday as his parents would sleep for a little while then as well, and Gregor's sister would send the maid away on some errand.
De esta forma recibía Gregorio su comida diaria una vez por la mañana, cuando los padres y la criada todavía dormían, y la segunda vez después de la comida del mediodía, porque entonces los padres dormían un ratito y la hermana mandaba a la criada a algún recado.
