Nasce Branca de Neve
Snow-white is born
Portuguese
Era uma vez uma rainha que costurava junto à janela em um dia de pleno inverno. Lá fora, flocos de neve caíam do céu como penas. A moldura da janela era de ébano, uma madeira muito escura. Enquanto costurava e observava a neve, a rainha espetou o dedo com a agulha. Três gotas de sangue caíram sobre a neve branca.
English translation
Once upon a time, a queen was sewing beside a window on a day in the middle of winter. Outside, snowflakes fell from the sky like feathers. The window frame was made of ebony, a very dark wood. As she sewed and watched the snow, the queen pricked her finger with the needle. Three drops of blood fell onto the white snow.
Portuguese
A combinação das cores lhe pareceu tão bonita que ela pensou: “Como eu gostaria de ter uma criança com a pele branca como a neve, as bochechas vermelhas como o sangue e os cabelos negros como a madeira desta janela!”
English translation
The combination of colors seemed so beautiful to her that she thought: “How I wish I had a child with skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as the wood of this window!”
Portuguese
Pouco depois, nasceu sua filhinha. A menina tinha a pele branca como a neve, as bochechas vermelhas como o sangue e os cabelos negros como o ébano. Por isso, recebeu o nome de Branca de Neve. Mas a rainha morreu quando a criança nasceu.

A little while later, her baby girl was born. The girl had skin as white as snow, cheeks as red as blood, and hair as black as ebony. That was why she was named Snow White. But the queen died when the child was born.
