I thought I saw my brake pads on the roof, so I took a drink of courage, built a scaffold, put on my climbing slippers, and went after them. It ended badly.

Me pensé vi mes balates en la azotea, tan tomé el trago del valor, construí un amdamio, puse mi pantufila alpinismo, y fui les traer. Lo final mal.
