Bella, the lonely cow - Bella, a vaca solitária

Driving along this Sunday through the local countryside, we saw a group of cows peacefully grazing. About 200 feet away there stood this one. Lookig depressed, rejected. Fatima thought maybe she was an outcast from the group. Maybe she thought she was ugly. Then Fatima decided to call her Bella. I hope she rejoins the group.

Passeando este Domingo pelos campos agrícolas locais vimos um grupo de vacas a pastar plácidamente num prado. A certa distância lá estava esta. Com aspecto triste e deprimido. Fátima pensou que ela tinha sido rejeitada pelo grupo. Talvez ela se sentia feia. Então a Fátima decidiu dar-lhe o nome de Bella. Esperamos que ela se volte a juntar ao grupo.
