     Aquí acaban as miñas polaviladas, que, como dixen ó primeiro, foron copiadas ó pé da letra, sin quitarlles nin poñerlles nada pola miña conta. Nunca me deo gusto amecer ós contos, e nesta ocasión menos.

     So they end my stories, that, as I said at the beginning, were copied without me adding or removing nothing on my own. I've never liked to add to a tale and, in this occasion, less so.
