O índio ajoelhou aos pés de Cecília; sem animar-se a levantar os olhos para ela, apresentou-lhe o cabaz de palha: abrindo a tampa, a menina assustou-se, mas sorriu; um enxame de beija-flores esvoaçava dentro; alguns conseguiram escapar-se.
The Indian knelt at Cecília's feet; without daring to raise his eyes to her, he presented the straw basket to her: on opening the lid, the girl took fright, but smiled; a swarm of hummingbirds fluttered inside; a few managed to escape.
