sarraceno

EN As the enraptured Ichabod fancied all this, and as he rolled his great green eyes over the fat meadow-lands, the rich fields of wheat, of rye, of buckwheat, and Indian corn, and the orchards burthened with ruddy fruit, which surrounded the warm tenement of Van Tassel, his heart yearned after the damsel who was to inherit these domains, and his imagination expanded with the idea, how they might be readily turned into cash, and the money invested in immense tracts of wild land, and shingle palaces in the wilderness.
GL Mentres o aloulado Ichabod estaba a imaxinar todo isto, e mentres os seus ollos verdes percorrían as grandes praderías, os ricos campos de trigo, centeo, sarraceno e millo, e as veigas cargadas de froita madura, que rodeaban a cómoda residencia de Van Tassel, o seu corazón ansiaba poder conquista-lo amor da señorita que ía herdar todo aquelo, e a súa imaxinación crecía pensando cómo había converter todo en cartos, e despois investi-lo diñeiro en inmensas extensións de terra virxe, e construír palacios con tellas de madeira en zonas inexploradas.
