Some spies on the coast near Madrid thought they saw a mysterious man dressed in bizarrely antique clothing from 500 years ago come ashore in a rowboat with a cry of “I’m back, everyone! My eyes are fixed. I can see green again!”. The Spanish he spoke was so old-fashioned that the word for “eyes” sounded like “pantalla”, a glassblower’s word for “square window”, and as the spies in the area were not glassblowers, but simple fishermen, they completely failed to understand the antique idiom the man spoke, which sounded to them like: “I’m back, everyone. I bought new eyes. I can monitor green again.”
Some [Blue-land] lovers then passed by and spoke to each other in Blue-landic, at which the mysterious man appeared to take fright. He dove in his rowboat, and rowed away as quickly as he could before anyone could see who he was exactly. As the fishermen thought from his speech that he was completely crazy, they did not bother to pursue him.
