Adventures of Huckleberry Finn — Page 3

English → Pt CHAPTER II. Level 6/10

I didn't want him to try.

Eu não queria que ele tentasse.

I said Jim might wake up and come.

Eu disse que o Jim poderia acordar e vir.

But Tom wanted to resk it; so we slid in there and got three candles, and Tom laid five cents on the table for pay.

Mas o Tom queria arriscar; então entramos lá e pegamos três velas, e o Tom deixou cinco centavos na mesa como pagamento.

Then we got out, and I was in a sweat to get away; but nothing would do Tom but he must crawl to where Jim was, on his hands and knees, and play something on him.

Então saímos, e eu estava ansioso para ir embora; mas o Tom não sossegou enquanto não engatinhou até onde o Jim estava, de mãos e joelhos, para lhe pregar uma peça.

I waited, and it seemed a good while, everything was so still and lonesome.

Fiquei esperando, e pareceu um bom tempo, tudo estava tão quieto e solitário.

As soon as Tom was back we cut along the path, around the garden fence, and by-and-by fetched up on the steep top of the hill the other side of the house.

Assim que o Tom voltou, seguimos pelo caminho, ao redor da cerca do jardim, e logo chegamos ao topo íngreme da colina do outro lado da casa.

Tom said he slipped Jim's hat off of his head and hung it on a limb right over him, and Jim stirred a little, but he didn't wake.

O Tom disse que tirou o chapéu do Jim da cabeça dele e pendurou-o num galho bem acima dele, e o Jim se mexeu um pouco, mas não acordou.

Afterwards Jim said the witches bewitched him and put him in a trance, and rode him all over the State, and then set him under the trees again, and hung his hat on a limb to show who done it.

Depois o Jim disse que as bruxas o enfeitiçaram e o puseram em transe, e o carregaram por todo o Estado, e depois o deixaram embaixo das árvores novamente, e penduraram seu chapéu num galho para mostrar quem tinha feito isso.

And next time Jim told it he said they rode him down to New Orleans; and, after that, every time he told it he spread it more and more, till by-and-by he said they rode him all over the world, and tired him most to death, and his back was all over saddle-boils.

E da próxima vez que o Jim contou, disse que elas o levaram até Nova Orleans; e, depois disso, cada vez que contava espalhava mais e mais, até que logo disse que elas o carregaram pelo mundo inteiro, e o cansaram quase até a morte, e suas costas estavam todas cheias de feridas de sela.
