Un hombre va al circo en busca de empleo. (A man went to the circus to find a job.)
El director le pregunta: (The boss asked him:)
“¿Y usted qué sabe hacer?” (What do you know how to do?)
El hombre dice, “yo… imito a los pájaros.“ (The man says, “I…imitate birds.”)
El director responde, “bueno… creo que no nos interesa, gracias.” (The boss answers, “well…we’re not interested, thanks.”)
… y el hombre se fue volando. (…and the man flew away.)
He’s quite good at his trade if he can fly away. I would’ve hired him. When someone se va volando (goes flying) it’s similar to the English phrase, “he flew the coop,” meaning he left in a hurry.
