O PÁSSARO DE OURO
A certain king had a beautiful garden, and in the garden stood a tree which bore golden apples.
Certo rei tinha um belo jardim, e no jardim havia uma árvore que dava maçãs de ouro.
These apples were always counted, and about the time when they began to grow ripe it was found that every night one of them was gone.
Essas maçãs eram sempre contadas, e por volta da época em que começavam a amadurecer, descobriu-se que todas as noites uma delas desaparecia.
The king became very angry at this, and ordered the gardener to keep watch all night under the tree.
O rei ficou muito irritado com isso e ordenou ao jardineiro que ficasse de guarda a noite toda sob a árvore.
The gardener set his eldest son to watch; but about twelve o'clock he fell asleep, and in the morning another of the apples was missing.
O jardineiro colocou seu filho mais velho para vigiar; mas por volta da meia-noite ele adormeceu, e pela manhã outra das maçãs havia sumido.
Then the second son was ordered to watch; and at midnight he too fell asleep, and in the morning another apple was gone.
Então o segundo filho foi ordenado a vigiar; e à meia-noite ele também adormeceu, e pela manhã outra maçã havia desaparecido.
Then the third son offered to keep watch; but the gardener at first would not let him, for fear some harm should come to him: however, at last he consented, and the young man laid himself under the tree to watch.
Então o terceiro filho se ofereceu para fazer a vigília; mas o jardineiro a princípio não o deixou, com medo de que algum mal lhe acontecesse: no entanto, por fim consentiu, e o jovem se deitou sob a árvore para vigiar.
