    DÍA DE REYES In the Spanish-speaking world, los Reyes or El Día de Reyes is the day when people traditionally receive presents for the Christmas season. When they go to bed on January 5, children leave their shoes outside their bedroom doors or by their windows in the expectation that the Reyes Magos (Wise Men) will leave presents beside them. They may already have written letters to SS.MM. los Reyes Magos de Oriente with a list of what they would like. For Reyes it is traditional to eat Roscón de Reyes, a ring-shaped cake studded with frosted fruits and containing a little trinket or coin.

  • 19 как корова жевала

    как (словно, будто) корова жевала
    прост., неодобр.
    lit. as though a cow had been chewing it, i.e. crumpled, creased

    [Пленные] немцы были поджарые, с испитыми лицами; одни почище, другие погрязнее, но в общем у всех вид не блестящий. Шинели - словно корова их жевала; на ногах худые ботинки и обмотки... (В. Панова, Кружилиха) — The Germans were scraggy, with bloated faces, some cleaner, some dirtier, but none of them of prepossessing appearance. Their coats looked as though a cow had been chewing them; their shoes and puttees were worn out.
