O tigre, que observava os cavaleiros, imóvel, com o pêlo eriçado, não ousara investir nem retirar-se, temendo expor-se aos tiros dos arcabuzes; mas apenas viu a tropa distanciar-se e sumir-se no fundo da mata, soltou um novo rugido de alegria e contentamento.
The tiger, which was watching the riders, motionless, its fur bristling, had dared neither to charge nor to retreat, fearing to expose itself to the arquebuses' shots; but as soon as it saw the troop draw off and vanish into the depths of the wood, it loosed a fresh roar of joy and contentment.
The tiger, watching the riders, motionless, had dared neither attack nor retreat for fear of the arquebuses; but the moment it saw the troop draw off and vanish into the depths of the wood, it loosed a fresh roar of joy.
