English My grandfather told me that a long time ago there was four men who went out for a walk. On the way, they met an opossum and they decided to beat him to death, but he wasn't dying. They tried it in several ways: They kicked him, hit him with sticks and with stones, but they couldn't. When they were already tired, they looked at each other and they started laughing for all the effort made without having managed to kill the opossum.
Spanish Mi abuelito me contó que hace tiempo había cuatro hombres que salieron a dar un paseo. En el camino, se encontraron con un tlacuache y decidieron golpearlo hasta matarlo, pero no se moría. Lo intentaron de varias maneras: lo patearon, le pegaron con palos y con piedras, pero no pudieron. Cuando ya estaban cansados, se miraron unos a los otros y comenzaron a reír por todo el esfuerzo hecho sin haber logrado matar al tlacuache.
