Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
From English:
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and
of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her
sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, “and what is
the use of a book,” thought Alice “without pictures or conversations?”
So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot
day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making
a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the
daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
To Brazilian Portuguese:
Alice estava começando a ficar muito cansada de estar sentada ao lado da
irmã, à beira do rio, sem ter nada para fazer: uma ou duas vezes,
bisbilhotara o livro que a irmã estava lendo, mas não havia fotos ou
conversas nele, “e para que serve um livro”, pensou Alice, “sem figuras ou
conversas?”
Assim, ela refletia consigo mesma (tão bem quanto podia, pois o dia
quente a fazia sentir-se muito sonolenta e estúpida), se o prazer de fazer
uma guirlanda de margaridas valeria o trabalho de se levantar e colher as
flores, quando de repente um Coelho Branco com olhos rosados passou
correndo perto dela.
