Gradually he makes progress. Now he can jump a little. In time he will do even as much as his teacher. 

75. ¿No hay quién nos desate?

A man and a woman are tied together. They are trying with all their might to free themselves and are calling for help. If I’m not mistaken, they are two people who were forced to marry.
