Goldilocks and the Three Bears

There was once a little girl whose hair was so bright and yellow that it glittered in the sun like spun-gold. For this reason she was called Goldilocks.

Era uma vez uma menininha cujo cabelo era tão brilhante e amarelo que reluzia ao sol como fios de ouro. Por isso ela era chamada de Cachinhos Dourados.

One day Goldilocks went out into the meadows to gather flowers. She wandered on and on, and after a while she came to a forest, where she had never been before. She went on into the forest, and it was very cool and shady.

Um dia Cachinhos Dourados saiu pelos campos para colher flores. Foi caminhando e caminhando, e depois de um tempo chegou a uma floresta onde nunca tinha estado antes. Entrou na floresta, e ali era muito fresco e sombreado.

Presently she came to a little house, standing all alone in the forest, and as she was tired and thirsty she knocked at the door. She hoped the good people inside would give her a drink, and let her rest a little while.

Logo depois chegou a uma casinha, sozinha no meio da floresta, e como estava cansada e com sede, bateu na porta. Ela esperava que as pessoas boas ali dentro lhe dessem algo para beber e a deixassem descansar um pouco.

Now, though Goldilocks did not know it, this house belonged to three bears. There was a GREAT BIG FATHER BEAR, and a middling-sized mother bear, and a dear little baby bear, no bigger than Goldilocks herself. But the three bears had gone out to take a walk in the forest while their supper was cooling, so when Goldilocks knocked at the door no one answered her.

Ora, embora Cachinhos Dourados não soubesse, essa casa pertencia a três ursos. Havia um GRANDE URSO PAI enorme, uma ursa mãe de tamanho médio, e um querido ursinho bebê, não maior que a própria Cachinhos Dourados. Mas os três ursos tinham saído para passear pela floresta enquanto o jantar esfriava, então quando Cachinhos Dourados bateu na porta, ninguém respondeu.

She waited awhile and then she knocked again, and as still nobody answered her she pushed the door open and stepped inside. There in a row stood three chairs. One was a GREAT BIG CHAIR, and it belonged to the father bear. And one was a middling-sized chair, and it belonged to the mother bear, and one was a dear little chair, and it belonged to the baby bear. And on the table stood three bowls of smoking hot porridge. “And so,” thought Goldilocks, “the people must be coming back soon to eat it.”

Ela esperou um pouco e bateu de novo, e como ainda ninguém respondia, empurrou a porta e entrou. Ali, enfileiradas, estavam três cadeiras. Uma era uma GRANDE CADEIRA enorme, e pertencia ao urso pai. Outra era uma cadeira de tamanho médio, e pertencia à ursa mãe, e outra era uma querida cadeirinha, e pertencia ao ursinho bebê. E sobre a mesa estavam três tigelas de mingau fumegante. "Então," pensou Cachinhos Dourados, "as pessoas devem estar voltando logo para comer."

She thought she would sit down and rest until they came, so first she sat down in the GREAT BIG CHAIR, but the cushion was too soft. It seemed as though it would swallow her up. Then she sat down in the middle-sized chair, and the cushion was too hard, and it was not comfortable. Then she sat down in the dear little chair, and it was just right, and fitted her as though it had been made for her. So there she sat, and she rocked and she rocked, and she sat and she sat, until with her rocking and her sitting she sat the bottom right out of it.

Ela pensou em se sentar e descansar até que voltassem, então primeiro sentou na GRANDE CADEIRA enorme, mas a almofada era macia demais. Parecia que ia engoli-la inteira. Depois sentou na cadeira de tamanho médio, e a almofada era dura demais, e não era confortável. Depois sentou na querida cadeirinha, e estava perfeita, e cabia nela como se tivesse sido feita sob medida. Então ficou ali sentada, balançando e balançando, sentada e sentada, até que de tanto balançar e sentar, arrebentou o fundo da cadeira.

And still nobody had come, and there stood the bowls of porridge on the table. “They can’t be very hungry people,” thought Goldilocks to herself, “or they would come home to eat their suppers.” And she went over to the table just to see whether the bowls were full.

E ainda ninguém tinha voltado, e ali estavam as tigelas de mingau sobre a mesa. "Eles não devem estar com muita fome," pensou Cachinhos Dourados consigo mesma, "senão já teriam voltado para casa para comer o jantar." E ela foi até a mesa só para ver se as tigelas estavam cheias.

The first bowl was a GREAT BIG BOWL with a GREAT BIG WOODEN SPOON in it, and that was the father bear’s bowl. The second bowl was a middle-sized bowl, with a middle-sized wooden spoon in it, and that was the mother bear’s bowl. And the third bowl was a dear little bowl, with a dear little silver spoon in it, and that was the baby bear’s bowl.

A primeira tigela era uma GRANDE TIGELA enorme com uma GRANDE COLHER DE PAU enorme dentro, e essa era a tigela do urso pai. A segunda tigela era uma tigela de tamanho médio, com uma colher de pau de tamanho médio dentro, e essa era a tigela da ursa mãe. E a terceira tigela era uma querida tigelinha, com uma querida colherzinha de prata dentro, e essa era a tigela do ursinho bebê.

The porridge that was in the bowls smelled so very good that Goldilocks thought she would just taste it.

O mingau que estava nas tigelas cheirava tão bem que Cachinhos Dourados pensou em apenas experimentar um pouquinho.

She took up the GREAT BIG SPOON, and tasted the porridge in the GREAT BIG BOWL, but it was too hot. Then she took up the middle-sized spoon and tasted the porridge in the middle-sized bowl, and it was too cold. Then she took up the little silver spoon and tasted the porridge in the dear little bowl, and it was just right, and it tasted so good that she tasted and tasted, and tasted and tasted until she tasted it all up.

Pegou a GRANDE COLHER enorme e provou o mingau da GRANDE TIGELA enorme, mas estava quente demais. Depois pegou a colher de tamanho médio e provou o mingau da tigela de tamanho médio, mas estava frio demais. Depois pegou a querida colherzinha de prata e provou o mingau da querida tigelinha, e estava perfeito, e tinha um gosto tão bom que provou e provou, e provou e provou até comer tudinho.

After that she felt very sleepy, so she went upstairs and looked about her, and there were three beds all in a row. The first bed was the GREAT BIG BED that belonged to the father bear. And the second bed was a middling-sized bed that belonged to the mother bear, and the third bed was a dear little bed that belonged to the dear little baby bear.

Depois disso ela se sentiu com muito sono, então subiu as escadas e olhou ao redor, e ali havia três camas todas enfileiradas. A primeira cama era a GRANDE CAMA enorme que pertencia ao urso pai. E a segunda cama era uma cama de tamanho médio que pertencia à ursa mãe, e a terceira cama era uma querida caminha que pertencia ao querido ursinho bebê.

Goldilocks lay down on the GREAT BIG BED to try it, but the pillow was too high, and she wasn’t comfortable at all.

Cachinhos Dourados deitou na GRANDE CAMA enorme para experimentar, mas o travesseiro era alto demais, e ela não ficou nada confortável.

Then she lay down on the middle-sized bed, and the pillow was too low, and that wasn’t comfortable either.

Depois deitou na cama de tamanho médio, e o travesseiro era baixo demais, e aquilo também não era confortável.

Then she lay down on the little baby bear’s bed and it was exactly right, and so very comfortable that she lay there and lay there until she went fast asleep.

Depois deitou na caminha do ursinho bebê, e estava exatamente certa, e tão confortável que ficou deitada ali e deitada ali até adormecer profundamente.

Now while Goldilocks was still asleep in the little bed the three bears came home again, and as soon as they stepped inside the door and looked about them they knew that somebody had been there.

Ora, enquanto Cachinhos Dourados ainda dormia na caminha, os três ursos voltaram para casa, e assim que entraram pela porta e olharam ao redor, souberam que alguém tinha estado ali.

“SOMEBODY’S BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR,” growled the father bear in his great big voice, “AND LEFT THE CUSHION CROOKED.”

"ALGUÉM ESTEVE SENTADO NA MINHA CADEIRA," rosnou o urso pai com sua voz grande e grossa, "E DEIXOU A ALMOFADA TORTA."

“And somebody’s been sitting in my chair,” said the mother bear, “and left it standing crooked.”

"E alguém esteve sentado na minha cadeira," disse a ursa mãe, "e deixou ela torta."

“And somebody’s been sitting in my chair,” squeaked the baby bear, in his shrill little voice, “and they’ve sat and sat till they’ve sat the bottom out”; and he felt very sad about it.

"E alguém esteve sentado na minha cadeira," guinchou o ursinho bebê, com sua vozinha fininha, "e ficaram sentados e sentados até arrebentar o fundo"; e ele ficou muito triste com aquilo.

Then the three bears went over to the table to get their porridge.

Então os três ursos foram até a mesa pegar o mingau.

“WHAT’S THIS!” growled the father bear, in his great big voice, “SOMEBODY’S BEEN TASTING MY PORRIDGE, AND LEFT THE SPOON ON THE TABLE.”

"O QUE É ISSO!" rosnou o urso pai com sua voz grande e grossa, "ALGUÉM ESTEVE PROVANDO MEU MINGAU, E DEIXOU A COLHER NA MESA."

“And somebody’s been taking my porridge,” said the mother bear in her middle-sized voice, “and they’ve splashed it over the side.”

"E alguém esteve comendo o meu mingau," disse a ursa mãe com sua voz de tamanho médio, "e espalhou tudo pela borda."

“And somebody’s been tasting my porridge,” squealed the baby bear, “and they’ve tasted and tasted until they’ve tasted it all up.” And when he said so the baby bear looked as if he were about to cry.

"E alguém esteve provando o meu mingau," guinchou o ursinho bebê, "e provaram e provaram até comer tudinho." E ao dizer isso o ursinho bebê parecia que ia chorar.

“If somebody’s been here they must be here still,” said the mother bear; so the three bears went upstairs to look.

"Se alguém esteve aqui, deve ainda estar aqui," disse a ursa mãe; então os três ursos subiram as escadas para ver.

First the father bear looked at his bed. “SOMEBODY’S BEEN LYING ON MY BED AND PULLED THE COVERS DOWN,” he growled in his great big voice.

Primeiro o urso pai olhou para sua cama. "ALGUÉM ESTEVE DEITADO NA MINHA CAMA E PUXOU AS COBERTAS PRA BAIXO," rosnou ele com sua voz grande e grossa.

Then the mother bear looked at her bed. “Somebody’s been lying on my bed and pulled the pillow off,” said she in her middle-sized voice.

Depois a ursa mãe olhou para sua cama. "Alguém esteve deitado na minha cama e tirou o travesseiro do lugar," disse ela com sua voz de tamanho médio.

Then the baby bear looked at his bed, and there lay little Goldilocks with her cheeks as pink as roses, and her golden hair all spread over the pillow.

Depois o ursinho bebê olhou para sua cama, e ali estava a pequena Cachinhos Dourados, com as bochechas rosadas como rosas, e seu cabelo dourado espalhado sobre o travesseiro.

“And somebody’s been lying in my bed,” squeaked the baby bear joyfully, “and here she is still!”

"E alguém esteve deitado na minha cama," guinchou o ursinho bebê alegremente, "e ela ainda está aqui!"

Now when Goldilocks in her dreams heard the great big father bear's voice she dreamed it was the thunder rolling through the heavens.

Ora, quando Cachinhos Dourados, em seus sonhos, ouviu a voz grande e grossa do urso pai, sonhou que era um trovão rolando pelo céu.

And when she heard the mother bear's middle-sized voice she dreamed it was the wind blowing through the trees.

E quando ouviu a voz de tamanho médio da ursa mãe, sonhou que era o vento soprando entre as árvores.

But when she heard the baby bear's voice it was so shrill and sharp that it woke her right up. She sat up in bed and there were the three bears standing around and looking at her.

Mas quando ouviu a voz do ursinho bebê, era tão fina e aguda que a acordou na hora. Ela se sentou na cama e ali estavam os três ursos ao redor, olhando para ela.

“Oh, my goodness me!” cried Goldilocks. She tumbled out of bed and ran to the window. It was open, and out she jumped before the bears could stop her. Then home she ran as fast as she could, and she never went near the forest again. But the little baby bear cried and cried because he had wanted the pretty little girl to play with.

"Ai, meu Deus!" gritou Cachinhos Dourados. Ela pulou da cama e correu até a janela. Estava aberta, e ela pulou para fora antes que os ursos pudessem detê-la. Então correu para casa o mais rápido que pôde, e nunca mais se aproximou da floresta. Mas o ursinho bebê chorou e chorou porque queria ter a menininha bonita para brincar com ele.
