English

They were having supper when the mother asked Jacinta again what she had witnessed.

The little girl said that Our Lady had appeared to them, that before that they had seen a flash of lightning, that they feared a thunderstorm was imminent or that it would rain, and they were already getting ready to go away, even going to drive the cattle for that purpose.

Português (original)

Estavam a cear quando a mãe perguntou novamente à Jacinta o que tinha presenciado.

A pequena disse que Nossa Senhora lhes tinha aparecido, que antes tinham visto um relâmpago, que recearam estivesse iminente uma trovoada ou chovesse, e já se preparavam para se irem embora, indo até tocar o gado para esse fim.
