El burro parte hacia Bremen
The donkey leaves for Bremen
Spanish
Un hombre tenía un burro que durante muchos años había transportado sin descanso sacos de grano hasta el molino. Con el tiempo, sin embargo, las fuerzas del animal empezaron a fallar y cada vez le costaba más trabajar. Su dueño se puso a pensar cómo podría ahorrarse el gasto de alimentarlo.
English translation
A man had a donkey that had tirelessly carried sacks of grain to the mill for many years. Over time, however, the animal began to grow weak, and working became harder and harder for him. His owner began to think about how he could save himself the expense of feeding him.
Spanish
El burro presintió el peligro y huyó. Tomó el camino de Bremen con una idea en la cabeza: «Allí seguro que podré ganarme la vida como músico de la ciudad».
English translation
The donkey sensed the danger and ran away. He took the road to Bremen with an idea in mind: “I’m sure I can earn my living there as a town musician.”
