1998, Santiago Gamboa, Páginas de vuelta:Los que estaban en la tienda se asomaron por los gritos cuando la joven salió a las volandas envuelta en una toalla, pero la toalla se enredó en la falleba de la puerta y por eso la vieron correr empelota y al alojado detrás, haciendo gestos babosos y dando saltos de pingüino con el pantalón por las rodillas, el culo al aire y la vista clavada en las nalgas bamboleantes de la muchacha.- Those who were in the store appeared upon hearing the shouts when the young woman rushed out wrapped in a towel, but the towel got tangled on the door catch and so they saw her running stark naked as well as the guest behind her, making many lewd gestures and hopping like a penguin with his pants around his ankles, his ass in the air, and his eyes locked on the girl's jiggling buttocks.
