Comment: "Grazie Gian - avevo trovato "a horse of little value", ma non andava bene nel contesto. Non potevo dire "... a donkey or a horse of little value ..."! (Non suona particolarmente bene) dunque ho preferito " ... a donkey or a worn-out horse ...".
Grazie mille anche ad Ernesto ed Elena per l'aiuto!"
