fifina

Dona Fafa went to the fair
shopping for the family.
But first, prudent mother,
spoke firmly to her daughter:
Fifina don't move the knife,
that knives hurt the fingers,
don't even be near the fire.

But Fifina is not afraid.
As soon as she was alone
it was a match to light,
to make a fire
and watch the fire grow.
But the spark ignited
pierced the fine dress,
forming an inflated bubble
in the fluffy injured arm.

Then, with a sharp knife,
it was a fig peeling,
and an ugly, deep cut
wounded her in the thumb.

How ugly Fifina,
now make strength to face.
And from now on, daughter,
just do what mom says.
