Como, porém, o italiano, com o arcabuz em face, procurasse fazer a pontaria entre as folhas, o índio bateu com o pé no chão em sinal de impaciência, e exclamou apontando para o tigre, e levando a mão ao peito:
As the Italian, however, with his arquebus at the ready, was trying to take aim among the leaves, the Indian stamped his foot on the ground in a sign of impatience and cried out, pointing at the tiger and raising his hand to his breast:
When the Italian levels his arquebus to aim through the leaves, the Indian stamps his foot and, pointing at the tiger, his hand on his breast, cries out.
