A Prize of Two Guineas is offered for the best translation into English of the following extract from" Cruce de Caminos," by Miguel de Unamuno. Dejando así la carretera fueron campo traviesa, entre floridos campos-magarzas, clavelinas, amapolas-adonde Dios quisiera. Y ella, mientras chupaba un chupamieles con sus labios de rosa, le iba contando de su abuelo cómo en las largas veladas invernizas le hablaba de otros mundos, del Paraíso, de aquel diluvio, de Noé, de Cristo ¿Y cómo era tu abuelo ? - Casi era como tú, algo mas alto ; pero no mucho, no te creas... viejo y sabía canciones. Calláronse los dos, siguió un silencio y lo rompió el anciano dando a la brisa que iba entre las flores este cantar : Los caminos de la vida Van del ayer al mañana, Mas los del cielo, mi vida, van al ayer del mañana. Y al oirle, la niña dió a los cielos, como una alondra, esta fresca canción de primavera: Pajarcito, pajarcito, ¿De donde vienes? El tu nido, pajarcito, ¿Ya no lo tienes? Si estas solo, pajarcito, ¿Como es que cantas ? ¿A quien buscas, pajarcito, Cuando te levantas ? - Así era como tú, algo mas chica-dijo llorando el viejo-; así era como tú como estas flores.
