Capa de Titty Mouse and Tatty Mouse

Titty Mouse and Tatty Mouse both lived in a house,

Titty Mouse e Tatty Mouse moravam as duas na mesma casa,

Titty Mouse went a leasing and Tatty Mouse went a leasing,

Titty Mouse foi catar espigas e Tatty Mouse foi catar espigas,

So they both went a leasing.

Então as duas foram catar espigas.

Titty Mouse leased an ear of corn, and Tatty Mouse leased an ear of corn,

Titty Mouse catou uma espiga de milho, e Tatty Mouse catou uma espiga de milho,

So they both leased an ear of corn.

Então as duas cataram uma espiga de milho.

Titty Mouse made a pudding, and Tatty Mouse made a pudding,

Titty Mouse fez um pudim, e Tatty Mouse fez um pudim,

So they both made a pudding.

Então as duas fizeram um pudim.

And Tatty Mouse put her pudding into the pot to boil,

E Tatty Mouse pôs o seu pudim na panela para ferver,

But when Titty went to put hers in, the pot tumbled over, and scalded her to death.

Mas quando Titty foi pôr o dela, a panela virou, e a escaldou até a morte.

Then Tatty sat down and wept; then a three-legged stool said: “Tatty, why do you weep?” “Titty's dead,” said Tatty, “and so I weep;” “then,” said the stool, “I'll hop,” so the stool hopped.

Então Tatty se sentou e chorou; então um banquinho de três pernas disse: "Tatty, por que você chora?" "Titty morreu," disse Tatty, "e por isso eu choro;" "então," disse o banquinho, "eu vou pular," e o banquinho pulou.

Then a broom in the corner of the room said, “Stool, why do you hop?” “Oh!” said the stool, “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, and so I hop;” “then,” said the broom, “I'll sweep,” so the broom began to sweep.

Então uma vassoura no canto do quarto disse: "Banquinho, por que você pula?" "Ah!" disse o banquinho, "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, e por isso eu pulo;" "então," disse a vassoura, "eu vou varrer," e a vassoura começou a varrer.

“Then,” said the door, “Broom, why do you sweep?” “Oh!” said the broom, “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, and the stool hops, and so I sweep;” “Then,” said the door, “I'll jar,” so the door jarred.

"Então," disse a porta, "Vassoura, por que você varre?" "Ah!" disse a vassoura, "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, e o banquinho pula, e por isso eu varro;" "Então," disse a porta, "eu vou ranger," e a porta rangeu.

“Then,” said the window, “Door, why do you jar?” “Oh!” said the door, “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, and the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, and so I jar.”

"Então," disse a janela, "Porta, por que você range?" "Ah!" disse a porta, "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, e o banquinho pula, e a vassoura varre, e por isso eu ranjo."

“Then,” said the window, “I'll creak,” so the window creaked. Now there was an old form outside the house, and when the window creaked, the form said: “Window, why do you creak?” “Oh!” said the window, “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, and the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, the door jars, and so I creak.”

"Então," disse a janela, "eu vou chiar," e a janela chiou. Ora, havia um banco velho fora da casa, e quando a janela chiou, o banco disse: "Janela, por que você chia?" "Ah!" disse a janela, "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, e o banquinho pula, e a vassoura varre, a porta range, e por isso eu chio."

“Then,” said the old form, “I'll run round the house;” then the old form ran round the house. Now there was a fine large walnut-tree growing by the cottage, and the tree said to the form: “Form, why do you run round the house?” “Oh!” said the form, “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, and the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, the door jars, and the window creaks, and so I run round the house.”

"Então," disse o banco velho, "eu vou correr ao redor da casa;" então o banco velho correu ao redor da casa. Ora, havia uma bela nogueira grande crescendo perto da casinha, e a árvore disse ao banco: "Banco, por que você corre ao redor da casa?" "Ah!" disse o banco, "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, e o banquinho pula, e a vassoura varre, a porta range, e a janela chia, e por isso eu corro ao redor da casa."

“Then,” said the walnut-tree, “I'll shed my leaves,” so the walnut-tree shed all its beautiful green leaves. Now there was a little bird perched on one of the boughs of the tree, and when all the leaves fell, it said: “Walnut-tree, why do you shed your leaves?” “Oh!” said the tree, “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, the door jars, and the window creaks, the old form runs round the house, and so I shed my leaves.”

"Então," disse a nogueira, "eu vou soltar minhas folhas," e a nogueira soltou todas as suas belas folhas verdes. Ora, havia um passarinho pousado num dos galhos da árvore, e quando todas as folhas caíram, ele disse: "Nogueira, por que você solta suas folhas?" "Ah!" disse a árvore, "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, o banquinho pula, e a vassoura varre, a porta range, e a janela chia, o banco velho corre ao redor da casa, e por isso eu solto minhas folhas."

“Then,” said the little bird, “I'll moult all my feathers,” so he moulted all his pretty feathers. Now there was a little girl walking below, carrying a jug of milk for her brothers and sisters' supper, and when she saw the poor little bird moult all its feathers, she said: “Little bird, why do you moult all your feathers?” “Oh!” said the little bird, “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, the door jars, and the window creaks, the old form runs round the house, the walnut-tree sheds its leaves, and so I moult all my feathers.”

"Então," disse o passarinho, "eu vou perder todas as minhas penas," e ele perdeu todas as suas lindas penas. Ora, havia uma menininha andando por ali embaixo, carregando um jarro de leite para a ceia dos irmãos e irmãs, e quando viu o pobre passarinho perder todas as penas, ela disse: "Passarinho, por que você perde todas as suas penas?" "Ah!" disse o passarinho, "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, o banquinho pula, e a vassoura varre, a porta range, e a janela chia, o banco velho corre ao redor da casa, a nogueira solta suas folhas, e por isso eu perco todas as minhas penas."

“Then,” said the little girl, “I'll spill the milk,” so she dropt the pitcher and spilt the milk. Now there was an old man just by on the top of a ladder thatching a rick, and when he saw the little girl spill the milk, he said: “Little girl, what do you mean by spilling the milk, your little brothers and sisters must go without their supper.” Then said the little girl: “Titty's dead, and Tatty weeps, the stool hops, and the broom sweeps, the door jars, and the window creaks, the old form runs round the house, the walnut-tree sheds all its leaves, the little bird moults all its feathers, and so I spill the milk.”

"Então," disse a menininha, "eu vou derramar o leite," e ela deixou cair o jarro e derramou o leite. Ora, havia um velho bem perto, em cima de uma escada, cobrindo um monte de feno com palha, e quando viu a menininha derramar o leite, disse: "Menininha, o que você quer dizer derramando o leite, seus irmãozinhos e irmãzinhas vão ficar sem a ceia." Então disse a menininha: "Titty morreu, e Tatty chora, o banquinho pula, e a vassoura varre, a porta range, e a janela chia, o banco velho corre ao redor da casa, a nogueira solta todas as suas folhas, o passarinho perde todas as suas penas, e por isso eu derramo o leite."

“Oh!” said the old man, “then I'll tumble off the ladder and break my neck,” so he tumbled off the ladder and broke his neck; and when the old man broke his neck, the great walnut-tree fell down with a crash, and upset the old form and house, and the house falling knocked the window out, and the window knocked the door down, and the door upset the broom, and the broom upset the stool, and poor little Tatty Mouse was buried beneath the ruins.

"Ah!" disse o velho, "então eu vou cair da escada e quebrar o pescoço," e ele caiu da escada e quebrou o pescoço; e quando o velho quebrou o pescoço, a grande nogueira caiu com um estrondo, e derrubou o banco velho e a casa, e a casa caindo derrubou a janela, e a janela derrubou a porta, e a porta derrubou a vassoura, e a vassoura derrubou o banquinho, e a pobre Tatty Mouse ficou soterrada debaixo dos escombros.
