anaconda


- noun
- boa

EN The revenue arising from his school was small, and would have been scarcely sufficient to furnish him with daily bread, for he was a huge feeder, and though lank, had the dilating powers of an anaconda; but to help out his maintenance, he was, according to country custom in those parts, boarded and lodged at the houses of the farmers, whose children he instructed.
GL Os ingresos que tiña como mestre non eran moi elevados, e a penas lle chegaban para o pan de cada día, xa que tiña un apetito voraz, e aínda que era fraco, o seu estómago dilatábase coma o dunha boa. Mais para a súa manutención contaba coa axuda dos granxeiros que lle ofrecían, segundo era costume por alí, cama e comida nas súas casas, mentres que el instruía os seus fillos.
