| The Art of Judging Others. | A arte de julgar os outros. |
| There were two neighbors. | Eram dois vizinhos. |
| One of them bought a rabbit for his children. | Um deles comprou um coelho para os filhos. |
| The children of the other neighbor also wanted a pet. | Os filhos do outro vizinho também quiseram um animal de estimação. |
| So, the parents of this family bought a German Shepherd puppy. | E os pais desta família compraram um filhote de pastor alemão. |
| Then a conversation begins between the two neighbors: | Então começa uma conversa entre os dois vizinhos: |
| "He’s going to eat my rabbit!" | "Ele vai comer o meu coelho!" |
| "No way. My shepherd is a puppy. They will grow up together and become friends!" | "De jeito nenhum. O meu pastor é filhote. Vão crescer juntos e "pegar" amizade!!!" |
| And it seems that the dog owner was right. | E, parece que o dono do cão tinha razão. |
| They grew up together and became friends. | Juntos cresceram e se tornaram amigos. |
| It was normal to see the rabbit in the dog’s yard and vice versa. | Era normal ver o coelho no quintal do cachorro e vice-versa. |
| The children were happy with the two animals. | As crianças, felizes com os dois animais. |
| Then, the rabbit’s owner went on a trip for the weekend with his family. | Eis que o dono do coelho foi viajar no fim de semana com a família. |
| They didn’t take the rabbit. | E não levaram o coelho. |
| On Sunday afternoon, the dog’s owner and his family were having a snack peacefully when, suddenly, the German Shepherd comes in with the rabbit between his teeth, filthy, covered in dirt, and dead. | No domingo, à tarde, o dono do cachorro e a família tomavam um lanche tranquilamente, quando, de repente, entra o pastor alemão com o coelho entre os dentes, imundo, sujo de terra e morto. |
| The dog got a tremendous beating! | O cão levou uma tremenda surra! |
| They almost killed the dog from so much aggression. | Quase mataram o cachorro de tanto agredi-lo. |
| The man said: "The neighbor was right. It could only end like this!" | Dizia o homem: "O vizinho estava certo. Só podia dar nisso!" |
| A few more hours and the neighbors would arrive. | Mais algumas horas e os vizinhos iam chegar. |
| And now?! | E agora?! |
| Everyone looked at each other. | Todos se olhavam. |
| The poor dog, crying outside, licking his wounds. | O cachorro, coitado, chorando lá fora, lambendo os seus ferimentos. |
| "Have you thought about how the children will react?" | "Já pensaram como vão ficar as crianças?" |
| No one knows exactly who had the idea, but it seemed foolproof: "Let’s wash the rabbit, make it clean, then we dry it with the hairdryer and put it back in its house." | Não se sabe exatamente quem teve a idéia, mas parecia infalível: "Vamos lavar o coelho, deixá-lo limpinho, depois a gente seca com o secador e o colocamos na sua casinha." |
| And so they did. | E assim fizeram. |
| They even put perfume on the little animal. | Até perfume colocaram no animalzinho. |
| It looked beautiful. | Ficou lindo. |
| It seemed alive, the children said. | Parecia vivo, diziam as crianças. |
| Shortly after, they heard the neighbors arriving. | Logo depois ouvem os vizinhos chegarem. |
| They noticed the children’s screams. | Notam os gritos das crianças. |
| "They found out!" | "Descobriram!" |
| Not five minutes passed, and the rabbit’s owner came knocking at the door, scared. | Não passaram cinco minutos e o dono do coelho veio bater à porta, assustado. |
| He looked like he had seen a ghost. | Parecia que tinha visto um fantasma. |
| "What happened?! Why that face?" | "O que foi?! Que cara é essa?" |
| "The rabbit, the rabbit…" | "O coelho, o coelho…" |
| "What about the rabbit?" | "O que tem o coelho?" |
| "It died!" | "Morreu!" |
| "Died? This afternoon it seemed so well." | "Morreu? Ainda hoje à tarde parecia tão bem." |
| "It died on Friday!" | "Morreu na sexta-feira!" |
| "On Friday?!" | "Na sexta?!" |
| "Yes. Before we traveled, the children buried it in the backyard, and now it has reappeared!" | "Foi. Antes de viajarmos, as crianças o enterraram no fundo do quintal e agora ele reapareceu!" |
| The story ends here. | A história termina aqui. |
| What happened next is left to the imagination of each of us. | O que aconteceu depois fica para a imaginação de cada um de nós. |
| But the main character of this story, without a doubt, is the dog. | Mas o grande personagem desta história, sem dúvida alguma, é o cachorro. |
| Imagine the poor thing, since Friday looking in vain for his childhood friend. | Imagine o coitado, desde sexta-feira procurando em vão pelo seu amigo de infância. |
| After much sniffing, he discovers his friend rabbit dead and buried. | Depois de muito farejar, descobre seu amigo coelho morto e enterrado. |
| What does he do? | O que faz ele? |
| Probably with a broken heart, he digs up his friend and goes to show his owners, imagining they could bring him back to life. | Provavelmente com o coração partido, desenterra o amigo e vai mostrar para seus donos, imaginando que o fizessem ressuscitar. |
| And humans continue to judge others… | E o ser humano continua julgando os outros… |
| Another lesson we can take from this story is that man has a tendency to judge facts without first verifying what really happened. | A outra lição que podemos tirar desta história é que o homem tem a tendência de julgar os fatos sem antes verificar o que de fato aconteceu. |
| How many times do we draw wrong conclusions from situations and think we are the owners of the truth? | Quantas vezes tiramos conclusões erradas das situações e nos achamos donos da verdade? |
| Stories like this are for us to think carefully about the attitudes we take. | Histórias como essa, são para pensarmos bem nas atitudes que tomamos. |
| Sometimes, we do the same… | Às vezes, fazemos o mesmo… |
| Life has four meanings: to love, to suffer, to fight, and to win. | A vida tem quatro sentidos: amar, sofrer, lutar e vencer. |
| So: LOVE a lot, SUFFER a little, FIGHT a lot, and if possible… ALWAYS WIN!!!" | Então: AME muito, SOFRA pouco, LUTE bastante e se possível…VENÇA sempre!!!" |
