Spanish term

un tropel de niños

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature género: cuento
un tropel de niños desbandados como ganado despavorido

La Mariposa acompañaba a su amo a la escuela y se sentaba a esperar en la puerta hasta que sonara la campana. Cuando terminaba la clase y se abría la puerta, aparecía un tropel de niños desbandados como ganado despavorido, y la Mariposa se sacudía la modorra y comenzaba a buscar a su niño. Oliendo zapatos y piernas de escolares, daba al fin con su Juancho y entonces, moviendo la cola como un ventilador a retropropulsión, emprendía el camino de regreso.

(Isabel Allende 1942- "El hombre de plata")
