TRANSCRIÇÃO
It was time for a haircut.Lenny didn't even have to look in the mirror.Even though he was going bald he knew that he needed to cut his hair every two weeks.He had a "tongue" of hair on the top of his head.His hair was thinning at the crown.He still had plenty of hair on the sides and back.It was what they call "salt and pepper," a mixture of gray hair and dark brown hair.It was only a few years, he figured, until the salt and pepper became just salt.He never let his hair grow for more than two weeks.The longer it got, the worse it looked, he thought.He spread a newspaper over the bathroom sink, so that no hair went down the drain.He plugged in the clippers and started cutting his hair.He started at the back of his head, went to the sides, and finished on the top.Every minute or so, he had to clean the hair out of the blades with an old toothbrush.Finished, he picked up a hand mirror to check out the back of his head.Everything looked okay.He carried the newspaper back out to the kitchen and shook the hair clippings into the trash can.Then he took a shower.TRADUÇÃO
Era hora de cortar o cabelo.Lenny nem precisou se olhar no espelho.Mesmo ficando careca, ele sabia que precisava cortar seu cabelo a cada duas semanas.Ele tinha uma "língua" de cabelo no topo da cabeça.Seu cabelo estava ralo na coroa.Ele ainda tinha muito cabelo nas laterais e atrás.Era o que eles chamam de "sal e pimenta", uma mistura de cabelos grisalhos e cabelos castanhos escuros.Há apenas alguns anos, ele imaginou, até que o sal e a pimenta tornou-se apenas sal.Ele nunca deixou seu cabelo crescer por mais de duas semanas.Quanto mais demorava, pior ficava, pensou.Ele estendeu um jornal sobre a pia do banheiro, para que nenhum cabelo desceu pelo ralo.Ele ligou a máquina de cortar cabelo e começou a cortar o cabelo.Ele começou na parte de trás de sua cabeça, foi para os lados e terminou no topo.A cada minuto, ele tinha que limpar o cabelo das lâminas com uma escova de dentes velha.Terminado, ele pegou um espelho de mão para verificar a parte de trás de sua cabeça.Tudo parecia bem.Ele levou o jornal de volta para a cozinha e sacudiu as aparas de cabelo na lata de lixo.Então ele tomou um banho.Page updated
