| A different student | Um aluno diferente |
| The teacher took her students to the school gardens to tell them about nature by showing them living nature. | A professora levou seus alunos até os jardins do colégio para lhes falar sobre a natureza mostrando-lhes a natureza viva. |
| She approached a flamboyant, full of flowers, and asked the students what tree it was. | Aproximou-se de um flamboyant, coalhado de flores, e perguntou aos alunos que árvore era aquela. |
| Some said it was just a tree. | Alguns, disseram que era apenas uma árvore. |
| Others, that that tree was a flamboyant, because in their houses there was a similar one. | Outros, que aquela árvore era um flamboyant, pois em sua casa havia um semelhante. |
| One girl said that flamboyants only serve to make dirt on the sidewalk, when they drop the flowers, because that's what her mother always says. | Uma menina falou que os flamboyants só servem para fazer sujeira na calçada, quando derrubam as flores, pois isso é o que sua mãe diz sempre. |
| One boy said his father had cut one recently, as its roots cracked the wall in his backyard. | Um garoto disse que seu pai havia cortado um, recentemente, pois suas raízes racharam o muro de seu quintal. |
| But Pedro, a boy with a sensitive soul, began by saying that he saw much more than a tree there. | Mas Pedro, menino de alma sensível, começou dizendo que via ali muito mais que uma árvore. |
| He said he saw the flowers, very beautiful by the way, but he could also smell their soft scent. | Disse que via as flores, muito belas por sinal, mas que também podia sentir seu suave perfume. |
| He drew attention to the bees that landed from flower to flower, and also to the birds that sought refuge in their cozy branches. | Chamou atenção para as abelhas que pousavam de flor em flor, e também dos pássaros que buscavam refúgio em seus galhos aconchegantes. |
| He remembered that everyone was under the generous shade that the leaves provided, and pointed to some insects that were walking lightly along the gentle trunk. | Lembrou que todos estavam sob a sombra generosa que as folhas propiciavam, e apontou para alguns insetos que passeavam, ligeiros, pelo tronco gentil. |
| He also spoke of the many lives that find shelter in that flamboyant, such as lichens, mosses, small bromeliads and many other forms of life that could be perceived. | Falou, ainda, das muitas vidas que encontram guarida naquele flamboyant, como liquens, musgos, pequenas bromélias e outras tantas formas de vida que se podia perceber. |
| "This is what I perceive, teacher," said Pedro, with the spontaneity of a small-great poet. | "Eis o que percebo, professora", falou Pedro, com a espontaneidade de um pequeno-grande poeta. |
| The educator, still in awe of the lesson she had just received, spoke kindly: "You are right, Pedro. To define this small universe simply as a tree, is to kill all its greatness and majesty." | A educadora, ainda embevecida com a aula que acabara de receber, falou amavelmente: "você tem razão, Pedro. Definir este pequeno universo simplesmente como uma árvore, é matar toda a sua grandeza e majestade." |
| There are people who do not notice the flowery flamboyants in squares, woods and streets. They are too busy to waste time on unimportant things. There are people who define flowers and leaves only as unwanted dirt. | Existem pessoas que não percebem os flamboyants floridos em praças, bosques e ruas. Elas são muito ocupadas para perder tempo com coisas sem importância. Tem pessoas que definem flores e folhas apenas como sujeira indesejável. |
| Others prefer to cut trees that are tens of years old, so that they do not crack their walls and cement sidewalks. | Outras preferem cortar árvores de dezenas de anos, para que não rachem seus muros e calçadas de cimento. |
| There are also those for which flamboyants represent some dollar signs. | Existem também aquelas para as quais os flamboyants representam alguns cifrões. |
| Cut, they could offer wood for firewood or become beautiful furniture. | Cortados, poderiam oferecer madeira para lenha ou se transformar em belos móveis. |
| And there are those people, like little Pedro, who see much more than just a tree. They see the Creator's autograph, in the majestic work of nature. | E há aquelas pessoas, como o pequeno Pedro, que vêem muito mais que uma simples árvore. Vêem o autógrafo do Criador, na majestosa obra da natureza. |
