Pero al acostarse volvió Ido
a ser atormentado por sus temores, y no tuvo más remedio que estar toda
la noche hecho un ovillo, con las manos cruzadas en la cintura, porque
si en una de las revueltas que ambos daban sobre los accidentados
jergones la mano de su mujer llegaba a tocar el duro, se lo quitaba, tan
fijo como tres y dos son cinco.

But upon lying down, Ido was once again tormented by his fears, and he had no choice but to spend the entire night curled up tight, his hands clasped at his waist; because if, as they both turned and tossed on the lumpy straw mattresses, his wife’s hand happened to touch the hard object, she would take it away, as sure as two and three make five.
