Crispin was a porcupine with sharpquills that covered his entire body.He had a pink nose and big browneyes, but you could hardly see hiseyes as his body was brown too.

One day it rained longand hard. Crispinsfamily stayed in theirlittle tunnel. The raindidnt stop falling.Crispin watched thebig, round drops ofwater come down on

the soft, mossy ground.Were going to haveto find a new home,Crispins father said.And so once the rainhad stopped, the littleporcupine family made their waythrough the forest in search of aplace to make their new home.

They came to a new part of theforest. It was beautiful there.Crispin saw families of squirrels,rabbits, birds, and other animals

running around.

Pontudinho era um porco-espinho, e, claro, seu corpo era coberto deespinhos. Seu nariz era cor-de-rosa eseus olhos castanhos, mas mal se podiver seus olhos porque seu corpinhotambm era todo marrom.

Certo dia choveutorrencialmente. Afamlia de Pontudinhoficou dentro do seutunelzinho. A chuva noparava de cair. Pontudinhoobservava os grandes

pingos dgua redondosque caiam no solo macio emusgoso.

Hello. Whats your name? the

rabbit asked. Crispin hadnt seen

the rabbit approach, and wasstartled.

shyly. My name is Crispin, I just

moved to this part of the forest.

because of the color of my coat,see? He turned around, and

showed Crispin his dark graybody.

This is Crispin, Gray said, as

he introduced him to a group ofanimals. And these are my

friends, Jed and Milo, Gray said,

pointing to a nearby squirrel androbin. And this is one of my

sisters, Corrie.

As time went on it seemed thatCrispin didnt really fit in.

Sometimes the other animalswould tease him about his sharp

quills. They would say that hecouldnt play with them because

he might hurt them with his quills.

Crispin was very sad, because hewanted to be friends with theother animals.

Apresento-lhes Pontudinhodisse Cinzento ao grupo de animais

e esses so meus amigos, Janjo eMilocontinuou Cinzentoestendendo o brao para um esquilo eum sabi.E essa uma de minhasirms, Pelcia!

O tempo foi passando, masPontudinho no parecia se enturmar.s vezes os outros animais pegavamno p dele por causa de seus

espinhos. Diziam que no podiambrincar com ele porque podiam semachucar em seus espinhos.

Pontudinho ficou muito triste porquequeria fazer amizade com os outrosanimais.

One day, the animals went to adifferent part of the forest, and therethey played. They all had so muchfun that they forgot what time itwas. Soon the sun was setting whenCorrie realized that it was gettinglate.

We stayed out too long! Our

parents are going to be worried,

Corrie said, as she looked aroundthe darkening forest.

They all started on their way home,no one saying much. As they weregetting nearer to their homes Miltonsaid, My mother told me that big

animals come out at night.

Ssssh! I heard something! Jed

said. They looked where Jed waspointing and saw a big gray wolf,standing nearby.

The little creatures began running asfast as they could, but the wolf wasmuch faster.He startedgaining onthem.

Certo dia, os animais foram a umlugar diferente da floresta e lbrincaram. Todos se divertiramtanto que se esqueceram da hora.Logo o Sol ia se pr quandoPelcia se deu conta de que estava

ficando tarde.

Ficamos fora muito tempo!Nossos pais devem estarpreocupadosafirmou Pelciaolhando ao redor para a florestaque escurecia.

O grupo comeou a ir para casa;ningum falava muito. Ao seaproximarem de casa, Milton disse:

Minha me me disse que noiteos animais grandes acordam.

Suddenly distracted, the wolfstopped chasing the two rabbitsand the squirrel. Crispin hadstepped onto the path.

Quick! Run! Crispin called out

to them.

But what about you, Crispin?

Corrie cried.

Just go! Crispin told her.

Corrie and all the other animalsran off to hide as fast as theycould in any nearby bushor burrow.

Crispin got up and walked awayfrom the oak tree. The wolf

followed, wondering what thisstrange animal was. Then thewolf bent down and sniffedCrispins back a little too closely.

He yelped as a few ofCrispins sharp quillsgot stuck on his face.

Then he ran off, stillyelping.

De repente, o lobo se distraiu e paroude perseguir os dois coelhos e o quati.Pontudinho se interps entre eles.

Rpido! Corram!dissePontudinho.

Mas e voc?perguntou Pelcia.

V, no se preocupe!Pontudinho disse.

Pelcia e todos os outros animaiscorreram para se esconder o maisrpido possvel numa moita ouarbusto ali perto.

Pontudinho andou para longe docarvalho. O lobo seguiu, se

perguntando o que seria aqueleestranho animal. Ento o lobo seabaixou e cheirou ascostas de Pontudinhoum pouco pertodemais. Ele uivouquando alguns dos

espinhos pontudos dobichinho se prenderam sua face. Entofugiu, ainda uivando.
