As mentioned in the episode, here is the poem translated at the beginning of the last chapter: Problems of Underdevelopment MONSIEUR DUPONT CALLS YOU UNCULTURED BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TELL WHO WAS VICTOR’S HUGO’S FAVOURITE GRANDSON. HERR MÜLLER HAS STARTED TO SCREAM BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW (EXACTLY) THE DAY THAT BISMARCK DIED. YOUR FRIEND MR. SMITH AN ENGLISHMAN OR YANKEE, I CANNOT TELL, BECOMES INCENSED WHEN YOU WRITE SHELL. (IT SEEMS YOU LEAVE OUT AN “L” AND, WHAT’S MORE, YOU PRONOUNCE IT CHEL.) OKAY, AND WHAT OF IT? WHEN IT’S YOUR TURN, MAKE THEM SAY CACARAJÍCARA AND ASK THEM WHERE IS THE ACONCAGUA AND WHO WAS SUCRÉ AND JUST WHERE ON THIS PLANET DID MARTÍ DIE. AND PLEASE: TELL THEM TO ALWAYS SPEAK TO YOU IN SPANISH. NICOLÁS GUILLÉN TRANS.
