Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 2
Well, I know what I's gwyne to do: I's gwyne to set down here and listen tell I hears it agin."
Bem, eu sei o que vou fazer: vou sentar aqui e escutar até ouvir de novo."
So he set down on the ground betwixt me and Tom.
Então ele sentou no chão entre mim e Tom.
He leaned his back up against a tree, and stretched his legs out till one of them most touched one of mine.
Ele encostou as costas numa árvore e esticou as pernas até que uma delas quase tocou uma das minhas.
My nose begun to itch.
Meu nariz começou a coçar.
It itched till the tears come into my eyes.
Coçou até as lágrimas virem aos meus olhos.
But I dasn't scratch.
Mas eu não ousava me coçar.
Then it begun to itch on the inside.
Então começou a coçar por dentro.
Next I got to itching underneath.
Depois comecei a sentir coceira embaixo.
I didn't know how I was going to set still.
Eu não sabia como ia conseguir ficar quieto.
This miserableness went on as much as six or seven minutes; but it seemed a sight longer than that.
Essa agonia durou uns seis ou sete minutos; mas pareceu muito mais tempo do que isso.
I was itching in eleven different places now.
Agora eu estava com coceira em onze lugares diferentes.
I reckoned I couldn't stand it more'n a minute longer, but I set my teeth hard and got ready to try.
Achei que não aguentaria mais um minuto, mas cerrei os dentes com força e me preparei para tentar.
Just then Jim begun to breathe heavy; next he begun to snore—and then I was pretty soon comfortable again.
Foi então que Jim começou a respirar pesado; depois começou a roncar — e logo em seguida eu me senti confortável de novo.
Tom he made a sign to me—kind of a little noise with his mouth—and we went creeping away on our hands and knees.
Tom me fez um sinal — uma espécie de barulhinho com a boca — e saímos rastejando de quatro.
When we was ten foot off Tom whispered to me, and wanted to tie Jim to the tree for fun.
Quando estávamos a uns três metros de distância, Tom me sussurrou que queria amarrar Jim à árvore por brincadeira.
But I said no; he might wake and make a disturbance, and then they'd find out I warn't in.
Mas eu disse não; ele poderia acordar e fazer barulho, e aí descobririam que eu não estava dentro de casa.
Then Tom said he hadn't got candles enough, and he would slip in the kitchen and get some more.
Então Tom disse que não tinha velas suficientes, e que ia se esgueirar até a cozinha para pegar mais.
