| Kafka, Love and the Travelling Doll | Kafka, o Amor e a Boneca Viajante |
| By Jordi Sierra Fabra. | Por Jordi Sierra Fabra |
| One year before his death, Franz Kafka was walking through Steglitz Park, in Berlin. | Um ano antes de sua morte, Franz Kafka caminhava pelo Parque Steglitz, em Berlim. |
| This was his daily walking route and that day he met a little girl crying. | Esta era sua rota de caminhada diária e naquele dia ele encontrou uma menina chorando. |
| She was heartbroken because she had lost her doll. | Ela estava com o muito triste porque havia perdido sua boneca. |
| To calm her down Franz first helped look for the doll. | Para acalmá-la, Franz primeiro ajudou a procurar a boneca. |
| Eventually, realizing that they would not find it, Franz told the little girl that the doll was probably away on a trip but that she should not worry, as he was a postman and the doll would have sent her a letter. | Por fim, percebendo que não a encontrariam, Franz disse à garotinha que a boneca provavelmente estava viajando, mas que ela não deveria se preocupar, pois ele era um carteiro e a boneca teria mandado uma carta para ela. |
| He arranged to meet her the next day at the park, to deliver the letter. | Ele combinou de se encontrar com ela no dia seguinte no parque, para entregar a carta. |
| The next day there was a letter from the doll and the content said: | No dia seguinte havia uma carta da boneca e o conteúdo dizia: |
| "Please do not cry, I have gone on a trip to see the world. I will write to you of my adventures." | "Por favor, não chore, fiz uma viagem para ver o mundo. Vou escrever para você sobre minhas aventuras." |
| This was the beginning of a long exchange of letters. | Este foi o início de uma longa troca de cartas. |
| When he and the little girl met again, he read her the letters about the imagined adventures of the beloved doll. | Quando ele e a menina se encontraram novamente, ele leu para ela as cartas sobre as aventuras imaginadas da adorada boneca. |
| For three weeks Franz focused exclusively on the doll's letters and handed them to the girl every day. | Durante três semanas, Franz se concentrou exclusivamente nas cartas da boneca e as entregava à menina todos os dias. |
| When the meetings came to an end, Kafka bought her a doll. | Quando as reuniões terminaram, Kafka comprou uma boneca para ela. |
| The doll was not the one the little girl lost, and the little girl said: | A boneca não era a que a menina perdeu, e a menina disse: |
| "This is not my doll". | "Esta não é a minha boneca". |
| So, Kafka gave her a letter in which the doll explained: | Então, Kafka deu a ela uma carta na qual a boneca explicava: |
| "my travels have changed me ... | "minhas viagens me mudaram ... |
| The little girl hugged the doll and went home really happy. | A menina abraçou a boneca e voltou para casa muito feliz. |
| The following year, Kafka died. | No ano seguinte, Kafka morreu. |
| Several years later, the girl found a letter stuffed into a previously unnoticed crevice in the doll. | Vários anos depois, a menina encontrou uma carta enfiada em uma fenda antes despercebida da boneca. |
| The tiny letter said: | A cartinha dizia: |
| "Everything that you love, you will eventually lose, but in the end, love will return in a different form." | "Tudo o que você ama, você acabará perdendo, mas no final, o amor retornará em uma forma diferente." |
| Nobody has ever known who was that little girl and what happened with the letters. | Ninguém nunca soube quem era aquela menina e o que aconteceu com as cartas. |
