As gentes de Balugães deixaram no cimo do monte o Mudo João, como um santo. Ah, se ao menos todas as crianças pudessem falar… E mesmo as que podem, que nos diriam elas se as ouvíssemos com atenção? Talvez nos relembrassem o que é questionar e para que serve. Ou talvez não, talvez nos apaziguassem apenas aqueles grandes medos que acompanham o futuro. Entretanto, algumas não falam. Talvez um dia, quem sabe, algum adulto, questionando, as consiga curar.
The people from Balugães left on the top of the mountain John The Mute, as a saint. Oh, if only all children could talk … And even those that can, what would they tell us if we listen carefully? Maybe they remembered us what is questioning and what is it for . Or maybe not, maybe they would just help us pacify those great fears that walk with the future. However, some do not speak. Maybe one day, who knows, a grown up, questioning, will heal them.
