Os Touros e o Leão

The Bulls and the Lion

A lion had been watching three bulls feeding in an open field.  He had tried to attack them several times, but they kept together and helped each other to drive him off.
 

The lion had little hope of eating them, for he was no match for three strong bulls with their sharp horns and hoofs.  But he could not keep away from that field, for it is hard to resist watching a good meal, even when there is little chance of getting it.
 

Then one day the bulls had a fight.  When the hungry lion came to lick his chops and watch them as he did each day, he found them in separate corners of the field, as far away from one another as they could get.
 

It was now an easy matter for the lion to attack the bulls one at a time.

Don't forget:  united we stand, divided we fall!

Antes de ser Mãe

Before I Was a Mom

By Patricia Vaughan

 Before I was a Mom
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom,
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was Mom
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words of lullabies.

Before I was a Mom
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on
Pooped on
Spit on
Chewed on
Peed on
Or pinched by tiny fingers

Before I was a Mom
I had complete control of:
My thoughts
My body
And my mind.
I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child
So that doctors could do tests
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
Could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
Could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay
I had never known the warmth
The joy
The love
The heartache
The wonder
Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

Toda criança no mundo...

O Direito das Crianças

Toda criança no mundo
Deve ser bem protegida
Contra os rigores do tempo
Contra os rigores da vida.

Criança tem que ter nome
Criança tem que ter lar
Ter saúde e não ter fome
Ter segurança e estudar.

Não é questão de querer
Nem questão de concordar
Os diretos das crianças
Todos tem de respeitar.

Tem direito à atenção
Direito de não ter medos
Direito a livros e a pão
Direito de ter brinquedos.

Mas criança também tem
O direito de sorrir.
Correr na beira do mar,
Ter lápis de colorir...

Ver uma estrela cadente,
Filme que tenha robô,
Ganhar um lindo presente,
Ouvir histórias do avô.

Descer do escorregador,
Fazer bolha de sabão,
Sorvete, se faz calor,
Brincar de adivinhação.

Morango com chantilly,
Ver mágico de cartola,
O canto do bem-te-vi,
Bola, bola,bola, bola!

Lamber fundo da panela
Ser tratada com afeição
Ser alegre e tagarela
Poder também dizer não!

Carrinho, jogos, bonecas,
Montar um jogo de armar,
Amarelinha, petecas,
E uma corda de pular.

 

Um passeio de canoa,
Pão lambuzado de mel,
Ficar um pouquinho à toa...
Contar estrelas no céu...

Ficar lendo revistinha,
Um amigo inteligente,
Pipa na ponta da linha,
Um bom dum cahorro-quente.

Festejar o aniversário,
Com bala, bolo e balão!
Brincar com muitos amigos,
Dar pulos no colchão.

Livros com muita figura,
Fazer viagem de trem,
Um pouquinho de aventura...
Alguém para querer bem...

Festinha de São João,
Com fogueira e com bombinha,
Pé-de-moleque e rojão,
Com quadrilha e bandeirinha.

Andar debaixo da chuva,
Ouvir música e dançar.
Ver carreiro de saúva,
Sentir o cheiro do mar.

Pisar descalça no barro,
Comer frutas no pomar,
Ver casa de joão-de-barro,
Noite de muito luar.

Ter tempo pra fazer nada,
Ter quem penteie os cabelos,
Ficar um tempo calada...
Falar pelos cotovelos.

E quando a noite chegar,
Um bom banho, bem quentinho,
Sensação de bem-estar...
De preferência um colinho.

Embora eu não seja rei,
Decreto, neste país,
Que toda, toda criança
Tem direito de ser feliz!

E quando a noite chegar,
Um bom banho, bem quentinho,
Sensação de bem-estar...
De preferência um colinho.

Uma caminha macia,
Uma canção de ninar,
Uma história bem bonita,
Então, dormir e sonhar...

Embora eu não seja rei,
Decreto, neste país,
Que toda, toda criança
Tem direito a ser feliz!
