Era uma vez dois viajantes que caminhavam pela praia. Eles estavam a pensar em maneiras de se tornarem ricos.

 

The travellers saw something in the Sea. It was slowly coming towards them.

The first traveller said, “Look, there is something coming towards us in the sea. What could it be?”

Translate

Os viajantes viram algo no mar. Estava vindo lentamente em direção a eles.

O primeiro viajante disse: “Olha, há algo vindo na nossa direção no mar. O que poderia ser?”

 

The second traveller said, “Maybe it is a huge ship carrying gold and silver. Maybe they are looking for someone to share it with.”

Translate

O segundo viajante disse: “Talvez seja um enorme navio que transporta ouro e prata. Talvez estejam a procurar alguém com quem compartilhar. ”

 

The first traveller said, “Oh we are so lucky”

The object moved closer to them. It was not a ship.

O primeiro viajante disse: “Oh, nós somos tão sortudos”

O objeto aproximou-se deles. Não era um navio.

The second traveller said, “Maybe it is a small boat carrying the tastiest fish. Maybe they are looking for someone to share it with.”

O primeiro viajante disse: “Não é um navio grande. O que mais poderia ser?”

O segundo viajante disse: “Talvez seja um pequeno barco que transporta os peixes mais saborosos. Talvez estejam a procurar alguém com quem compartilhar. ”

O segundo viajante disse: “Talvez seja um pequeno baú de ouro. Talvez possamos vendê-lo e ficar ricos. ”
