Pophole
El señor Jones, granjero de la factoría, borracho como estaba, olvidó cerrar los "popholes"
¿Qué fue lo que olvidó cerrar?
Edit
Ser Ruby en Italia, en estos momentos no es de lo mejor.

Ruby

El granjero Jones, por borracho, olvidó cerrar la puerta del corral. La del gallinero, sin embargo, recordó de cerrarla.
¿Podría ser?

O "se acordó de cerrarla" también sería válido.

Here is a Spanish version, where they use "ventanillas". I would go with something like "portezuelas", but "ventanillas" if one look at the picture posted by Perikles, would be fine.
http://www.laeditorialvirtual.com.ar...aGranja.htm#C3
El señor Jones, propietario de la Granja Manor, cerró por la noche los gallineros, pero estaba demasiado borracho para recordar que había dejado abiertas las ventanillas.
