1. O Ballet
O Manel e a Maria foram a Lisboa. Quando iam pelo caminho encontraram um cartaz a
dizer ´´Grande Ballet”. O Manel disse à mulher:
- Maria, ainda não vimos nada disto, deve ser bonito. Queres ir ver?
-Sim, estou com dores nas pernas de andarmos às voltas. Até descansava…
Já sentados, começou o espetáculo. A mulher adormeceu e acordou só no intervalo.
-Ai homem, que vergonha. Adormeci. Achas que as pessoas deram por isso?
-As pessoas, não sei, mas as meninas do palco, desde que começaste a dormir que só
andam de bicos nos pés! Devia ser para não acordares.
The Ballet
Manel and Maria went to Lisbon. When they were on their way, they came across a
poster that said « Great Ballet». Manel said to his wife:
-We still haven’t seen anything like that, it must be good. Would you like to see it?
-Yes, my legs hurt from walking around so much. If only I could have a rest…
Once they had sat down, the show began. The woman fell asleep and only woke up in
the interval.
-Oh no, how embarrassing! I fell asleep. Do you think anyone noticed?
-I don’t know about the audience, but since you started sleeping the girls on stage only
danced on their tip-toes! It must have been so you didn’t wake up.
