Scene 1 · Beginner
Era um dia quente de verão, e uma raposa passeava por um pomar. Ela encontrou um cacho de uvas que começavam a ficar maduras. As uvas estavam numa videira que crescia sobre um galho alto.
It was a hot summer day, and a fox was strolling through an orchard. She found a bunch of grapes that were beginning to ripen. The grapes were on a vine growing over a high branch.
— Essas uvas vão acabar com a minha sede — disse a raposa.
“These grapes will quench my thirst,” said the fox.
Ela deu alguns passos para trás, correu e saltou. Quase alcançou o cacho, mas não conseguiu.
She took a few steps back, ran, and jumped. She almost reached the bunch, but couldn't.
A raposa voltou para trás e contou: “Um, dois, três”. Depois saltou outra vez, mas também não alcançou as uvas.
The fox backed up and counted, “One, two, three.” Then she jumped again, but still didn't reach the grapes.
