My story

Eu sou a dona Maria, e o número 7 é meu.I am Maria, and number 7 is mine.

Vivo aqui há cinquenta anos.I have lived here for fifty years.

Durante quarenta anos, fui professora na escola da cidade.For forty years, I was a teacher at the town school.

Sei quem chega tarde, quem deixa a porta da rua aberta e quem leva o último pãozinho do café.I know who comes home late, who leaves the street door open, and who takes the last bread roll from the café.

As pessoas dizem que eu sei tudo.People say that I know everything.

Isso não é verdade.That is not true.

Só sei tudo sobre esta casa.I only know everything about this house.

A minha neta Leonor vem cá todos os dias depois das aulas.My granddaughter Leonor comes here every day after classes.

O gato não é meu.The cat is not mine.

Ele só pensa que a casa é dele.He only thinks that the house is his.
