| An eye witness account from New York | Relato de uma testemunha ocular em Nova York |
| Some years ago: A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. | Alguns anos atrás: Um garotinho, de cerca de 10 anos, estava parado diante de uma sapataria na estrada, descalço, espiando pela janela e tremendo de frio. |
| A lady approached the young boy and said: "My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!" | Uma senhora se aproximou do menino e disse: "Que coisa, mas você está tão pensativo olhando por aquela janela!" |
| "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes", was the boy's reply. | "Estava pedindo a Deus que me desse um par de sapatos", foi a resposta do menino. |
| The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy. | A senhora o pegou pela mão, foi até a loja e pediu ao balconista que pegasse meia dúzia de pares de meias para o menino. |
| She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. | Ela então perguntou se ele poderia lhe dar uma bacia de água e uma toalha. |
| He quickly brought them to her. | Ele rapidamente os trouxe para ela. |
| She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. | Ela levou o pequenino para os fundos da loja e, tirando as luvas, ajoelhou-se, lavou seus pezinhos e enxugou-os com a toalha. |
| By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. | A essa altura, o balconista havia voltado com as meias. |
| Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes. | Colocando um par nos pés do menino, ela comprou para ele um par de sapatos. |
| She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him. | Ela amarrou os pares de meias restantes e deu a ele. |
| She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, you will be more comfortable now." | Ela deu um tapinha na cabeça dele e disse: "Sem dúvida, você ficará mais confortável agora." |
| As she turned to go, the astonished kid caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her: "Are you God's wife?" | Quando ela se virou para ir embora, o garoto atônito a pegou pela mão e, olhando-a no rosto, com lágrimas nos olhos, perguntou-lhe: "Você é a esposa de Deus?" |
