Mulo at once determined of "letting well alone", when "in the kettle, jump not into the fire" &c. So without so much as a move of his tail there he remained, nor carajas, nor curses, nor punetas, nor punos were sufficient to induce him to move a muscle of his frame. "Aqui estoy, he argued, mas me gusta quedan." Here I am , and I'd rather remain. "Mas valen palos, que lobos." Cuffs before wolves". and there he next word underlined: would remain, until, what any but a Spaniard would have done at first, the load was removed from his back. Then commenced a conversation between our Mayoral, and the macho on the ground. In deprecating tones half crying half sarcastically, such as a Spaniard alone can command when talking to his mule, he would expose the cutting conduct and insulting obstinacy of the prostrate beast, his coadjustors the while standing by, manufacturing their cigars and occasionally dove tailing in an epithet of objurgation.
