Dice que no eran manzanas, sino casta?as

she says they weren't apples, but instead that they were chestnuts

Le dije que era inocente porque no hab?a comido casta?as

I said I was innocent since I had not eaten any chestnuts

pero la Serpiente le inform? que "casta?o" tambi?n pod?a tener un significado figurado

but the Serpent informed her that "chestnut" could also have a figurative meaning

Dice que una casta?a puede ser una broma envejecida y mohosa

Me puse p?lido ante esta definici?n

I turned pale at this definition

porque he hecho muchos chistes para pasar el tiempo cansado

y algunos de ellos mis chistes podr?an haber sido de la variedad casta?a

pero honestamente hab?a supuesto que eran chistes nuevos cuando los hice

Me pregunt? si hab?a hecho alguna broma justo en el momento de la cat?strofe

Me vi obligado a admitir que me hab?a hecho una broma a m? mismo

aunque no hice la broma en voz alta

Estaba pensando en las cascadas

I was thinking about the waterfalls

" Qu? maravilloso es ver caer esa vasta masa de agua all? abajo!"

"How wonderful it is to see that vast body of water tumble down there!"

Entonces, en un instante, un pensamiento brillante brill? en mi cabeza
