narrador

EN The story-teller who was just putting a glass of wine to his lips, as a refreshment after his toils, paused for a moment, looked at his inquirer with an air of infinite deference, and, lowering the glass slowly to the table, observed, that the story was intended most logically to prove: "That there is no situation in life but has its advantages and pleasures --provided we will but take a joke as we find it: "That, therefore, he that runs races with goblin troopers is likely to have rough riding of it".
GL O narrador que se dispoñía a levar ós beizos un vaso de viño para refrescarse despois do esforzo que fixera, detívose un instante, mirou ó que lle interrogaba cun enorme respecto e, pousando lentamente o vaso na mesa, explicou que o que a historia pretendía probar do xeito máis lóxico posible era que: "Non existe na vida ningunha situación que non teña as súas vantaxes e satisfaccións, sempre que sexamos capaces de aguantar unha broma; Polo tanto, aquel que bota unha carreira cun xinete fantasma corre o risco de pasar apuros".
