No momento em que Peri examinava de longe esta cena, o cãozinho saltava no meio do grupo: o animal apenas respirou da corrida em que vinha, puxou com os dentes a trota de penas do índio mais moço, que o atirou a quatro passos com um empurrão.

The setting

At the moment Peri was examining this scene from afar, the little dog leaped into the middle of the group: the animal had barely caught its breath from the run it came at, when it tugged with its teeth the feather-tuft of the younger índio, who flung it four steps off with a shove.
