What more do you want? Look at those legs. Stretch out his wings. And that broken scale on top of that wide one, and that double one?" Tarsilo did not hear him, he kept on examining the cock. The rattle of silver coins reached his ears. "Let us see the bulik now," said he, in a choking voice. Bruno stamped the ground with his feet, grated his teeth, but obeyed his brother.
"But I will be the stake-holder," said the other, in whom the manner of Bruno inspired little confidence. "It's all the same to me!" responded the latter, trusting in the strength of his fists. And, turning to his brother, he said: "Go away, if you wish; I'm going to stay." Then Tarsilo reflected. He loved his brother and the game. He could not leave him alone, and he murmured. "Let it be so!"
"Take care of my sister," murmured the unhappy boy as he gazed beseechingly toward one of the cuadrilleros. The bamboo sweep again creaked, and the condemned boy once more disappeared. Doña Consolacion observed that the water remained quiet. The alferez counted a minute. When Tarsilo again came up his features were contracted and livid.
The law continues, the lásak must win and we ought not to lose any chance. I want to bet on the next fight. What's the difference? We'll revenge our father."

In a corner of the yard, upon an old wagon, were five bodies close together and half covered by a filthy piece of torn matting. A soldier on guard was pacing up and down, and constantly spitting. "Do you recognize them?" asked the alferez, lifting the matting. Tarsilo did not respond.
"Be careful!" The pole was being lowered slowly. Tarsilo rubbed against the projecting stones and the dirty plants which grew in the crevices. Then, the pole ceased to move. The alferez was counting the seconds. "Up!" he ordered dryly, at the end of a half minute. The silvery harmony of the drops of water falling back into the well, announced the return of the unfortunate man to the light.
Then turning to his brother he added, "Even if you do keep out, I'm going in." Tarsilo reflected: he loved his brother and liked the sport, and, unable to desert him, he murmured, "Let it go." They made their way to Lucas, who, on seeing them approach, smiled. "Sir!" called Tarsilo. "What's up?" "How much will you give us?" asked the two brothers together. "I've already told you.
