desinfectante

EN A charm is lent to the humblest thatched and smoky cabin when of a winter evening the family sits on rough stools or escaños (great benches of chestnut-wood with a high back, which is sometimes made so that it can be brought forward to serve as a table) round the hearth (lareira) heaped high with tallos (logs) or terrones of glowing turf, in the ashes of which potatoes and chestnuts are roasted, while tales of wolves and witchcraft and spirits, with proverbs and snatches of song, speed the hours away and the encircling smoke is a disinfecting incense.
GL Mesmo a máis humilde cabana afumada e de tellado de colmo ten o seu encanto, cando nas noites de inverno a familia se senta en rústicos escanos (grandes bancos de madeira de castaño cunha grande espaldeira, que ás veces se fai de maneira que poida ser botada cara a diante para servir de mesa), ó redor da lareira ateigada con achas (tallos) ou terróns de turba incandescente, nas cinzas da cal se asan patacas e castañas, mentres os contos de lobos, de bruxas e de espíritos, acompañados de refráns e anacos de cancións, fan voa-las horas entre o fume envolvente que serve de incenso desinfectante.
