Answer 12

Niña :¿ Por qué han atado esto mono? Supongo que fue malo, pero habría sido mejor ponerlo en el rincón.

Girl: Why did they tie this monkey ? I suppose he was bad, but it would have been better to put him in the corner.

Good job, porcupine! -- Spanish: *Supongo que fue* malo, pero *habría sido* mejor *ponerlo* en el rincón. - gintar77, Oct 22, 2011
