Read the full text in our reader

Esta última era uma bela índia, cuja posse se disputavam todos os guerreiros Aimorés; seu pai, o chefe da tribo, sentia o orgulho de ter uma filha tão formosa, como a mais linda seta do seu arco, ou a mais vistosa pena do seu cocar.

This last was a beautiful índia, whose possession all the Aimoré warriors contended for; her father, the tribe's chief, felt the pride of having a daughter as lovely as the finest arrow of his bow, or the most striking feather of his headdress.
