The little boats of bark
Read the full text in our reader
Às vezes a linda menina se deitava de braços e sorrindo ao céu azul ia levada pela corrente; ou perseguia as jaçanãs e marrecas que fugiam diante dela. Outras vezes Peri que estava distante, do lado superior do rio, colhia alguma flor parasita que deitava sobre um barquinho feito de uma casca de pau e que vinha trazido pela correnteza.
The bath becomes a game. Cecília floats on her back smiling at the blue sky, or chases the water-birds; and Peri, upstream and out of sight, sets a parasitic flower afloat on a little boat of bark for the current to carry down to her.
