      Més sério que un plat d’arròs i pegant grans camallades, com si pretenguera soguejar un sotanell de terra pobra, lleument esfondrà els peus descalços per vora mar lo nostre forçut i enamorat Tombatossals.
      More serious than an owl and taking huge strides, as it he were attempting to measure off a parcel of poor land, our brawny and besotted Tombatossals lightly let his his bare feet sink by the seacoast.
