A fanfarronice do moleiro
The miller's boast
Portuguese
Era uma vez um moleiro pobre que tinha uma bela filha. Certo dia, ele precisou falar com o rei e, querendo parecer mais importante do que era, fez uma afirmação extraordinária:
— Tenho uma filha que sabe fiar palha e transformá-la em ouro.
English translation
Once upon a time, there was a poor miller who had a beautiful daughter. One day, he needed to speak to the king and, wanting to seem more important than he was, made an extraordinary claim:
“I have a daughter who can spin straw and turn it into gold.”

A ideia agradou muito ao rei.
