This house is on fire.
Esta casa está em chamas.
Look! the roof is in a blaze.
Olhe! o telhado está em chamas.
Run, boys, and ring the bell. Call some men to put out the fire.
Corram, meninos, e toquem o sino. Chamem alguns homens para apagar o fogo.
We may yet save the house, if we work hard
Ainda podemos salvar a casa, se trabalharmos muito

LIÇÃO XXXV.--REVISÃO.
Bess, do you hear a noise?
Bess, você ouve um barulho?
Yes, Tom; what is it?
Sim, Tom; o que é isso?
It is the mill by our house; logs are cut there.
É o moinho perto da nossa casa; lá cortam toras de madeira.
How do they cut the logs, Tom,--with an ax?
Como eles cortam as toras, Tom,--com um machado?
Not with an ax, Bess; it is too hard work; they cut them with a saw.
Não com um machado, Bess; é um trabalho muito difícil; eles as cortam com uma serra.
May we not go and see the mill at work, Tom?
Não podemos ir ver o moinho funcionando, Tom?
Yes, I think so. The air is cool, and we can walk in the shade. We should go soon, Bess, or the pile of wood will be gone.
Sim, acho que sim. O ar está fresco, e podemos caminhar na sombra. Devemos ir logo, Bess, ou a pilha de madeira vai acabar.
Our two goats and the cart are here, Tom; we can ride to the mill. It is not up hill, and the goats can pull us fast.
Nossas duas cabras e a carroça estão aqui, Tom; podemos ir ao moinho de carroça. Não é morro acima, e as cabras podem nos puxar rápido.

As meninas e os meninos todos amam a Senhorita May; ela é tão gentil com eles.
Miss May tells them there is a rule that she wants them to keep. It is, "Do to each one as you would like each one to do to you."
A Senhorita May lhes diz que há uma regra que ela quer que cumpram. É: "Faça a cada um como você gostaria que cada um fizesse a você."
This is a good rule, and all boys and girls should keep it.
Esta é uma boa regra, e todos os meninos e meninas devem cumpri-la.
