Is there a translation for this exercise

Hi,

I was wondering if this is a story from Cervantes or a fairy-tale from the Grimms brothers?

Also, I was wondering if there is an official translation of this, as there are many phrases, etc that are difficult to translate.

Thank you.

Nicole

Why is ellas used with the masculine object, los bolsos?

Thank you, James

Do we need el/la after gustar?

I’m trying to unlearn or clarify some things about this verb. Could you comment on if these examples are correct or wrong and provide a short explanation? “A ti te gusta pollo?” “Me gusta pensar.” “Me gusta todo.” “Les gustan criticarme.” “A mi no me gustan ellos.” “Ellos no les gusta a mi.”
