Peri, his bow in his right hand

Read the full text in our reader

Peri, com o seu arco, companheiro inseparável e arma terrível na sua mão destra, sentava-se longe, à beira do rio, numa das pontas mais altas do rochedo ou no galho de alguma árvore, e não deixava ninguém aproximar-se num raio de vinte passos do lagar onde as moças se banhavam.

The setting

Peri, with his bow — inseparable companion and terrible weapon in his right hand — would sit far off at the river's edge, on a high rock-point or a tree-branch, and let no one come within twenty paces of where the girls bathed.
