Question

Traduza para o Inglês:
As árvores acharam que não custava nada atender ao pedido do lenhador e na mesma hora resolveram fazer o que ele queria.

-Decidimos que o freixo dará o que era necessário, pois é a árvore mais comum e modesta.

Mas, assim que recebeu o que tinha pedido, o lenhador começou a atacar com seu machado tudo o que encontrava pela frente na floresta, derrubando as mais belas árvores. O carvalho, que só se deu conta da tragédia quando já era tarde demais para fazer alguma coisa, cochichou para o cedro:

- Foi um erro atender ao primeiro pedido que ele fez. Por que fomos sacrificar nosso humilde vizinho? Se não tivéssemos feito isso, quem sabe viveríamos muitos e muitos anos!

Moral: Quem trai os amigos pode estar cavando a própria cova.

Answer 1

The trees felt that it was not hard to meet the woodcutter's request, and at the same time they decided to do what he wanted.

"We have decided that the ash tree will give what was necessary, for it is the most common and modest tree.

But as soon as he received what he had requested, the woodcutter began to attack with his ax all that was ahead of him in the forest, knocking down the most beautiful trees. The oak, who only realized the tragedy when it was too late to do anything, whispered to the cedar:

"It was a mistake to answer the first request he made. Why did we sacrifice our humble neighbor? If we had not done so, we might live many, many years!

Moral: Those who betray their friends may be digging their own grave.

Answer 2

The trees thought that there would be no problem complying with the lumberjack's request, and immediately decided to do what he wanted. We've decided that the ash will yield what is needed, for it's the most common and modest tree. But, as soon as he received what he had asked, the lumberjack began to hit everything on his way through the forest with his axe, knocking down the most beguiling trees. The oak, which just noted the tragedy when it was yet too late for doing anything, whispered to the cedar:

- It's been a mistake complying with his first request. Why did we sacrifice our humble neighbour? If we hadn't done that, we might live for plenty of years!

Moral: those who beguile their own friends can be digging their own graves
