01Patakín 1 — The Greedy One
›
Ebbo: a rooster, gandinga [giblets] and a dog.
Patakín: On this road a certain dog once went to the slaughterhouse and stole a gandinga; as he was carrying the gandinga, on crossing the river, as is natural, the gandinga was reflected in the water and he saw it as much larger than the one he was carrying in his mouth.

And through greed he was left without the one and without the other.
