Recomendação materna

Read the full text in our reader

Ao fim de algum tempo, estava sossegado, mas abatido. Como me achasse estirado na cama, com os olhos no teto, lembrou-me a recomendação que minha mãe fazia de me não deitar depois do jantar para evitar alguma congestão.

After some time, I was calm but dejected. As I found myself stretched out on the bed, with eyes on the ceiling, I remembered the recommendation that my mother made of me not lying down after dinner to avoid some congestion.
