Find a word related to R E C O M P E N S E

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase or idiom ) related to the word Recompense [rek-uhm-pens] / verbio – sustantivo

and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word. (not recompense)

Examples:

Her recompense was scant reward for all her hard work.

Su recompensa fue escasa recompensa por todo su trabajo duro.

Pictures would be nice.

This link might help you find some ideas

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

This is the previous challenge

To expiate your sadness I commiserate with you , is "commiserate" a form of recompense in this case ? - ray76, Feb 11, 2013
If she had accepted your bribe as recompense for not giving you a ticket - that would be just fine Annie. - ian-hill, Feb 11, 2013
Reminds me of the Rosetta Stone commercial - "I talked my way out of a ticket - in Portuguese!" - PeterRS, Feb 11, 2013
