Translation (Spanish)

Un pobre hombre se subió a una palma de cocos, porque los dueños de la palma se lo mandaron. Todavía era muy obscuro, pues eran como las cinco de la mañana y el hombre se habíá subido con la luz de la luna. Ya casi iba llegando; pero no pudo porque había muchos cocos secos en la palma. Agarró una rama seca, se vino para bajo y cayó sentado. Se juntó mucha gente y lo taparon con una cobija.

Translation (English)

A poor man climbed into a coconut palm, because the owners of the palm told him to. It was still very dark, because it was about five in the morning and the man had climbed by the light of the moon. He had almost reached the top; but he couldn't because there were many dry coconuts in the palm. He grabbed a dead branch, looked down and fell to the ground.
