| Shredded paper in the wind. | Papel picado, ao Vento |
| A man, a long time ago, said so much that his neighbor was a thief that the boy ended up in prison! | Um senhor, há muito tempo, tanto falou que seu vizinho era ladrão que o rapaz acabou preso! |
| Days later, they found out he was innocent. | Dias depois, descobriram que era inocente. |
| The boy was released and sued the man. | O rapaz foi solto, e processou o homem. |
| In court, the old man said to the judge, "Comments don't do that much harm." | No tribunal, o velho diz ao juiz: "Comentários não causam tanto mal". |
| And the judge replied: "Write the comments on paper, then chop and throw the pieces on the way home". | E o juiz responde: Escreva os comentários num papel, "depois pique e jogue os pedaços no caminho de casa". |
| "Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence." | "Amanhã, volte para ouvir a sentença". |
| The old man obeyed and returned the next day. | O senhor obedeceu e voltou no dia seguinte. |
| "Before the sentence, you will have to pick up the pieces of paper you spread yesterday," said the judge. | "Antes da sentença, terá que catar os pedaços de papel que espalhou ontem", disse o juiz. |
| The old man replied, "I can't do that." | Responde o velho: "Não posso fazer isso". |
| "The wind must have spread them, I don't know where they are anymore." | "O vento deve tê-los espalhado, já não sei onde estão". |
| The judge answered: | Responde o juiz: |
| "In the same way, a simple comment can destroy a man's honor, to the point where we can't fix the evil." | "Da mesma maneira, um simples comentário pode destruir a honra de um homem, a ponto de não podermos consertar o mal". |
| "If you can't speak well of a person, it is better if you don't say anything." | "Se não se pode falar bem de uma pessoa, é melhor que não se diga nada". |
| "Let us own our mouths, lest we be slaves to our words". | "Sejamos donos de nossa boca, para não sermos escravos de nossas palavras". |
