“Coida o ladrón que todos o son”

The thief thoughts that everybody also is one

“Tamén os ladróns d'aquí n'están a boas co inferno. Se o puderan atafegar! O que n'ha ir alá pensa: se hai que haxa; se arde, deixá-lo arder. Pero o que ve que vai direitiño! Cánto s'alegraría que no'o houbese! Que non fose máis que contos de cregos para ganar un peso.”

The thieves here are also at odds with hell. If they could dose it! The one who isn't going to go there thinks: if it exists, let it exist; if it burns, let it burn. But the one that goes straight towards it, how much would he rejoice if it doesn't exists! That it is but priest's tales make to gain a fivepence.
