| The Hole in the Boat | O Furo no Barco |
| A man was called to the beach to paint a boat. | Um homem foi chamado à praia para pintar um barco. |
| He brought paint and brushes with him, and began to paint the boat a brilliant red, as he had been hired to do. | Trouxe com ele tinta e pincéis, e começou a pintar o barco de um vermelho brilhante, como fora contratado para fazer. |
| As he painted, he noticed that the paint was seeping through the bottom of the boat. He noticed that there was a leak, and decided to fix it. | Enquanto pintava, percebeu que a tinta estava passando pelo fundo do barco. Percebeu que havia um vazamento, e decidiu consertá-lo. |
| When he finished the painting, he took his money and left. | Quando terminou a pintura, recebeu seu dinheiro e se foi. |
| The next day, the owner of the boat sought out the painter and presented him with a nice check. | No dia seguinte, o proprietário do barco procurou o pintor e presenteou-o com um belo cheque. |
| The painter was surprised: | O pintor ficou surpreso: |
| — You already paid me to paint the boat -- he said. | — O senhor já me pagou pela pintura do barco - disse ele. |
| — But this isn't for the paint job. It's for fixing the leak in the boat. | — Mas isto não é pelo trabalho de pintura. É por ter consertado o vazamento do barco. |
| — It was such a small service that I didn't want to charge. Surely you are not paying me such a large amount for something so insignificant! | — Foi um serviço tão pequeno que não quis cobrar. Certamente, não está me pagando uma quantia tão alta por algo tão insignificante! |
| — My dear friend, you don't understand. Let me tell you what happened: when I asked you to paint the boat, I forgot to mention the leak. When the boat dried up, my children took it and went fishing. I was out of the house at that time. When I came back and noticed that they had left with the boat, I was desperate, because I remembered that the boat had a hole. Imagine my relief and joy when I saw them returning safe and sound. So I examined the boat and found that you had fixed it! Do you see now what you did? Saved my children's lives! I will never have enough money to pay you back for your "small" good deed. | — Meu caro amigo, você não compreendeu. Deixe-me contar-lhe o que aconteceu: Quando pedi a você que pintasse o barco, esqueci de mencionar o vazamento. Quando o barco secou, meus filhos o pegaram e saíram para uma pescaria. Eu estava fora de casa naquele momento. Quando voltei e notei que haviam saído com o barco, fiquei desesperado, pois me lembrei que o barco tinha um furo. Imagine meu alívio e alegria quando os vi retornando sãos e salvos. Então, examinei o barco e constatei que você o havia consertado! Percebe, agora, o que fez? Salvou a vida de meus filhos! Jamais terei dinheiro suficiente para pagar-lhe pela sua "pequena" boa ação. |
| Help, support, dry the tears, fix the leaks, always! | Ajude, ampare, enxugue as lágrimas, conserte os vazamentos, sempre! |
