From the library
Pero en cuanto ve un niño descalzo le quiere dar todo lo que tiene: a su caballo le lleva azúcar todas las mañanas, y lo llama «caballito de mi alma»; con los criados viejos se está horas y horas, oyéndoles los cuentos de su tierra de África, de cuando ellos eran príncipes y reyes.
—Come, caballito lindo, y bebe y descansa que bastante falta te hace, pues has corrido tanto y debes sentirte fatigado.
