SOMETHING

translated by renata junqueira de souza

Something appeared in the city.

People were surprised.

Some people laughed.

Some people shook with fear.

Some people though it was delicious.

Some people pulled their hair.

Some people set off fireworks.

Some people bit their tongues, lost sleep and screamed Viva.

Some people bit their nails, clapped their hands and ran away.

Some people felt very, very, very happy.

Some of them were sure - something could not happen, no way.

Others celebrated. They said: "Congratulations! It is so good!

Finally!"

Some were worried. They demanded something forbidden, guaranteed to

be impossible.

Something was wrong, something was dangerous.

Others were calm - celebrating, laughing, remembering and hugging

each other.

As they went out into the street happily singing and dancing.

Some of them were bitter, persecuting something of no value.

Something should disappear or be taken far, far away.

Many defended and praised something.

They said something was great, good for everybody.

They had been hoping for something for so long.

Something was important, beautiful and precious.

Some people decided to exterminate something.

But others said, "NO!"

And ran away to slowly hide something inside their hearts.
