Aesop’s Fables – O Leão e o asno
Once upon a time, a lion was walking down the forest aisle. All the animals were cheering for him and saying how great he was.
The animals bowed. The animals screamed with joy. The animals were truly delighted.
TranslateEra uma vez, um leão caminhava pelo corredor da floresta. Todos os animais estavam a torcer por ele e dizendo o quão grande ele era.
Os animais curvaram-se. Os animais gritaram de alegria. Os animais ficaram maravilhados.
In the midst of all this, there was a stupid donkey which decided that he would look great if he were to make scornful remarks at the lion.
TranslateNo meio de tudo isso, havia um burro estúpido que decidiu que ficaria lindo se fizesse comentários de escárnio para o leão.
He called out, “BRAAAY!!! The lion walks thinking that he is majestic. In truth he looks just like a loser! Ha Ha.”
TranslateEle gritou: “BRAAAY !!! O leão anda a pensar que é majestoso. Na verdade, ele parece um perdedor! Ha Ha. ”
The other animals were scandalized. They were terrified as to what the lion would do. The lion was enraged and very angry. He turned his head and saw who had spoken. It was the donkey and the lion turned and walked on quietly.
TranslateOs outros animais ficaram escandalizados. Eles estavam apavorados com o que o leão faria. O leão ficou furioso e muito zangado. Ele virou a cabeça e viu quem havia falado. Era o burro e o leão virou-se e caminhou em silêncio.
