Los muñequitos de pastel

They were the figures on the wedding cake. Someone else decided their destiny and they forced them to live together forever in an unhappy, loveless relationship, seeing other's joy and having to smile in spite of their suffering, because, what really mattered was keeping up appearances.

La almohada sabia

It is the wise pillow which lives in a small house on top of a mountain. When someone says "I'm going to sleep on it", they are referring to the journey they make to see the pillow.

Hombre Rompe-Cabezas

He was a puzzle man and most people didn’t have the patience to put him together to understand him.

Note: Rompe-cabezas [puzzle] is a compound word whose components mean literally “head breaker”.
