     La llosa que devia taparlo s'havia escantellat temps há, presentant un trep triangular capás d'engolirse una criatura, peró ningú s'havia cuydat de fer desapareixer aquell perill de la via pública.

     The flagstone which should have covered it had become chipped over time, presenting a triangular rent capable of swallowing up a child, but no one had bothered to make that danger disappear from the public road.
