OS TRÊS PORQUINHOS / THE THREE LITTLE PIGS
Era uma vez três porquinhos que saíram da casa de sua mãe. Cada um construiria a sua própriacasa. Seguiram caminhos diferentes.
Once upon a time there were three little pigs who left their mother's home. Each would build their own home. They went different ways.
O primeiro porquinho construiu a sua casa com palha. Logo ficou pronta, e ele foi dormir.
The first little pig built his house out of straw. It was soon ready, and he went to sleep.
Chegou um lobo que queria comer o porquinho e disse: - Abra a porta ou derrubarei esta casa com um sopro só.
A wolf, who wanted to eat the pig arrived and said: "Open the door or I will tear down this house with a single blow."
O porquinho não abriu. O lobo soprou e derrubou a casa. O porquinho fugiu.
The little pig didn't open. The wolf blew and tore the house down. The little pig ran away.
O segundo porquinho fez a sua casa com galhos de árvore. Logo ficou pronta, e ele foi dormir.
The second little pig made its home out of tree branches. It was soon ready, and he went to sleep.
Outra vez veio o lobo. - Porquinho, abra a porta ou vou assoprar e derrubar tudo. O porquinho não abriu, o lobo assoprou e derrubou a casa. Mas o porquinho fugiu e se escondeu. E o lobo queria saber: - Onde se meteu esse porquinho?
Again came the wolf: "Little Pig, open the door or I'll blow and knock everything to the ground." But the little pig ran away and hid. And the wolf wanted to know: "Where is this little pig?"
O terceiro porquinho construiu a sua casa de tijolos. Para lá foram os seus irmãos e o lobo também.
The third little pig built his house out of bricks. There went his brother and the wolf too.
Resolveu descer pela chaminé, mas a lareira estava acesa e ele saiu pegando fogo.
He decided to go down the chimney, but the fireplace was lit and he left on fire.
O lobo foi embora e os porquinhos ficaram muito felizes morando na casinha de tijolos.
The wolf went away and the little pigs lived happily in their brick house.
