O espelho do mago perverso
The wicked magician's mirror
Portuguese
Era uma vez um mago extremamente mau. Ele estava radiante porque havia construído um espelho muito especial: tudo o que era bom e belo encolhia ao se refletir nele, até quase desaparecer. Já as coisas feias e sem valor aumentavam e pareciam dez vezes piores.
English translation
Once upon a time there was an extremely wicked wizard. He was delighted because he had built a very special mirror: everything good and beautiful shrank when reflected in it, until it almost disappeared. But ugly and worthless things grew larger and seemed ten times worse.
Portuguese
Uma paisagem encantadora virava uma espécie de espinafre cozido. As pessoas mais bonitas apareciam com o rosto tão deformado que nem os amigos as reconheceriam. Uma simples sarda parecia se espalhar pelo nariz e pela boca. E, quando alguém tinha um pensamento bom ou piedoso, surgia uma ruga no espelho.
English translation
A lovely landscape turned into something like boiled spinach. The most beautiful people appeared with their faces so distorted that even their friends wouldn’t recognize them. A simple freckle seemed to spread across the nose and mouth. And whenever someone had a kind or pious thought, a wrinkle appeared in the mirror.
Portuguese
O mago soltava risadinhas, satisfeito com sua invenção. Os alunos de sua escola de magia espalharam a notícia. Segundo eles, aquele espelho finalmente mostrava o mundo e as pessoas como realmente eram.
English translation
The wizard chuckled, pleased with his invention. The students at his school of magic spread the news. According to them, that mirror finally showed the world and its people as they really were.
