Summary/Abstract: Miklaszewski stated humorously that while reading Schulz you may come to the conclusion that the author wrote two o three sentences drafting a few situations which he then modified and repeated in his shirt stories. In order to verify if the same stylistic effect is present in the Spanish translations I will analyse the excerpts which contain figures of speech such as polyptoton, ploce, anastrophe and figura etimologica, as well as the so-called “situational rhymes”, i.e. the use of similar phrasing to describe the same or different situations.
