| The right teaching | O ensinamento correto |
| Once, there was a renowned monk who lived in a beautiful monastery with many of his pupils. | Certa vez, havia um monge renomado que vivia em um belo mosteiro com muitos de seus alunos. |
| His teachings were known to be very effective and many of his students grew up to become great masters themselves. | Seus ensinamentos eram conhecidos por serem muito eficazes e muitos de seus alunos cresceram e se tornaram grandes mestres. |
| One day, one of them was caught stealing from his fellow-students and they reported him to the monk. | Um dia, um deles foi pego roubando de seus colegas estudantes e eles o denunciaram ao monge. |
| But he took no action against the boy. | Mas ele não fez nada contra o menino. |
| A few days later the same boy was again caught stealing. | Poucos dias depois, o mesmo garoto foi novamente pego roubando. |
| And again the head monk did nothing to punish him. | E novamente o monge-chefe não fez nada para puni-lo. |
| This angered the other students who drew up a petition asking for the dismissal of the thief. | Isso irritou os outros alunos que redigiram uma petição pedindo a demissão do ladrão. |
| They threatened to leave en masse if the boy was allowed to stay in the monastery. | Ameaçaram sair em massa se o menino permanecesse no mosteiro. |
| The teacher called a meeting of the students. | O professor convocou uma reunião dos alunos. |
| When they had assembled, he said to them: | Quando eles se reuniram, ele lhes disse: |
| You are good boys who know what is right and what is wrong. | Vocês são bons meninos que sabem o que é certo e o que é errado. |
| If you leave, you will have no trouble in joining some other school. | Se vocês sairem, não terão problemas em ingressar em outra escola. |
| But what about your brother who does not even know the difference between right and wrong? | Mas e quanto ao seu irmão, que nem mesmo sabe a diferença entre o certo e o errado? |
| Who will teach him if I don't? | Quem o ensinará que não eu? |
| No, I cannot ask him to go even if it means losing all of you. | Não, não posso pedir a ele que vá, mesmo que isso signifique perder todos vocês. |
| Tears coursed down the cheeks of the boy who had stolen. | Lágrimas correram pelo rosto do menino que havia roubado. |
| He never stole again and in later life became renowned for his integrity. | Ele nunca mais roubou e, mais tarde, tornou-se conhecido por sua integridade. |
