English

Truly, the event was far too extraordinary to be passed over in silence and forgotten. I went, I saw and I heard more than enough not to let anyone contradict or deny it in my presence.

Português

Realmente o caso foi extraordinário de mais para ficar no silencio do esquecimento. Fui, vi e ouvi mais do que o suficiente para não permitir que na minha presença alguem me contradiga ou desminta.
