What were they doing when they saw the Lady?
O que faziam quando viram a Senhora?
2 - I was minding the sheep. There was a flash of lightning and I said: Francisco, we'd better go home, there's a thunderstorm coming. There was another flash of lightning and I looked at the holm-oak shrub and saw a Lady who said: Don't be afraid, I won't do you any harm. She was on top of the holm-oak shrub. The Lady was young, she had a tight skirt. She does not know what a hobble skirt* is, and she has seen ladies with pleated skirts, but the Lady's dress was not like that. She did not notice whether the dress was all in one piece.
2 - Guardava as ovelhas. Deu um relâmpago e eu disse: ó Francisco é melhor irmos embora que vem trovoada. Deu outro relâmpago e olhei para a carrasqueira e vi uma Senhora que disse: Não tenham medo que não faço mal. Estava em cima da carrasqueira. A Senhora era nova, tinha saia justa. Não sabe o que é saia travadinha, e tem visto senhoras com saias às pregas mas o vestido da Senhora não era. Não reparou se o vestido era inteiro.
