Un día, after Canutito got up, he found de que el grampo y la grama estaban busy running about por toda la casa. They were sweeping and dusting and y alzando cosas como si estuviesen esperando una visita del Papa himself. Canutito stepped out p’al portal, todavía pulling on su camiseta. He found al grampo sweeping todo el sidewalk mientras que la grama cortabalas hierbas. He rubbed sus ojos e hizo yawn mientras que he scratched his pancita. He sidled up to Grama Cuca and he asked her: “Grama, ¿Quién va a venir a visitarnos hoy, …the Presidente de los United States?”

“It might as well be, m’hijo,” she returned. “Va a venir a vernos tu Tío Mardoqueo, el cojo. We are cleaning up the house para que no vaya a tropezar on anything.”
