O Cão e Seu Reflexo

Um cão encontrou um grande pedaço de carne.

A dog found a big piece of meat.

Ele ficou muito feliz.

Ele pegou a carne com a boca e começou a ir para casa.

He picked up the meat with his mouth and started to go home.

No caminho de casa, o cão teve de atravessar uma pequena ponte sobre um rio.

On his way home, the dog had to cross a small bridge over a river.

Quando olhou para baixo, para a água, viu outro cão.

When he looked down into the water, he saw another dog.

Este outro cão também tinha um pedaço de carne na boca.

This other dog also had a piece of meat in his mouth.

O cão pensou: "Aquele cão também tem carne!

The dog thought, "That dog has meat too!

A carne dele parece maior que a minha.

His meat looks bigger than mine.

Eu quero a carne dele!" O cão abriu a boca para latir para o outro cão.

I want his meat!" The dog opened his mouth to bark at the other dog.

Ele queria pegar a carne do outro cão.

He wanted to take the other dog's meat.

Mas quando abriu a boca, seu próprio pedaço de carne caiu na água.

But when he opened his mouth, his own piece of meat fell into the water.

A carne afundou no rio.

The meat sank down into the river.

O cão não conseguiu recuperá-la.

The dog could not get it back.

Agora o cão não tinha carne alguma.

Now the dog had no meat at all.

Ele ficou muito triste.

O outro cão na água também havia desaparecido.

O cão descobriu que o outro cão era apenas o seu reflexo na água.

The dog learned that the other dog was just his reflection in the water.

Não havia outro cão.

Não havia outro pedaço de carne.

There was no other piece of meat.

O cão voltou para casa faminto porque quis demais.
