Aesop’s Fables – Os dois galos e a águia
Once upon a time, there were two Cocks who lived in the same farm.
Every morning there was a big fight between the Cocks.
TranslateEra uma vez dois galos que moravam na mesma fazenda.
Todas as manhãs havia uma grande briga entre os galos.
The first Cock would say, “I am the stronger bird. I must first say Cockadoodledoooooooo”.
The second Cock would say, “No. I am the stronger bird. I must first say Cockadoodledoooooooo”.
TranslateO primeiro galo diria: “Eu sou o pássaro mais forte. Devo primeiro dizer Cockadoodledoooooooo ”.
O segundo galo diria: “Não. Eu sou o pássaro mais forte. Devo primeiro dizer Cockadoodledoooooooo ”.
They would then scream together, “Cockadoodledoooooooo”.
One day the first bird said, “Let us fight. The winner should stay in the farm. The loser should leave the farm.”
The second bird said, “Yes. Let us fight today.”
TranslateEles então gritariam juntos, “Cockadoodledoooooooo”.
Um dia, o primeiro pássaro disse: “Vamos lutar. O vencedor deve ficar na fazenda. O perdedor deve deixar a fazenda. ”
O segundo pássaro disse: “Sim. Vamos lutar hoje. ”
The two cocks fought. They fought with their beaks and claws. One Cock scratched the other Cock with its long claws. One Cock pecked the other Cock with its beak. Both the cocks were injured.
TranslateOs dois galos lutaram. Eles lutaram com seus bicos e garras. Um galo arranhou o outro galo com as suas longas garras. Um galo bicou o outro galo com o bico. Ambos os galos ficaram feridos.
Soon the second Cock became tired and the first Cock won the fight.
The second Cock said, “I lose. You are now the winner.”
TranslateLogo o segundo galo ficou cansado e o primeiro galo venceu a luta.
O segundo galo disse: “Eu perco. Agora é o vencedor. ”
The second Cock went to hide in the shed. The first Cock flew to the top of the roof.
It then shouted loudly at the top of its voice, “Cockadoodledoooooooo! Cockadoodledoooooooo! Cockadoodledoooooooo!”
TranslateO segundo galo foi esconder-se no barracão. O primeiro galo voou para o topo do telhado.
Em seguida, gritou em voz alta no topo da sua voz, “Cockadoodledoooooooo! Cockadoodledoooooooo! Cockadoodledoooooooo! ”
An Eagle heard the sound and saw the Cock on top of the roof. The Eagle flew down and caught the Cock.
TranslateUma Águia ouviu o som e viu o galo no topo do telhado. A Águia voou e pegou o galo.
The Eagle said, “What a stupid bird you are? You are on top of the roof during the afternoon.”
TranslateA Águia disse: “Que pássaro estúpido é? Está no topo do telhado durante a tarde. ”
Saying so, the Eagle ate the Cock and then flew away. The second Cock became the master of the farm.
TranslateDizendo isso, a Águia comeu o galo e foi embora voando. O segundo galo tornou-se o dono da fazenda.
Moral: “Pride goes before a fall.”
TranslateMoral: “O orgulho vem antes da queda.”
