TRANSCRIÇÃO
Sammy looked at the pile of paper on the floor. Whenever he finished reading his mail or a newspaper or magazine, he threw it into this pile. This was his recycling pile. At the moment, it was almost two feet high. It was time to recycle.He squatted down, protecting his back. Sometimes, just sitting down would cause his back to go out for a week. He scooped his hands under the pile and slowly stood up.He walked over to his front door. Hands full, he struggled to turn the doorknob and open the door.TRADUÇÃO
Sammy olhou para a pilha de papel no chão. Sempre que ele terminava de ler sua correspondência ou um jornal ou revista, ele jogava nesta pilha. Esta era sua pilha de reciclagem. No momento, tinha quase dois metros de altura. Era hora de reciclar.Ele se agachou, protegendo as costas. Às vezes, só de sentar suas costas se deslocava por uma semana.
