His

This is Sammy.
This is his Sun Tan Beach.
It's his because it was on it that he was abandoned by mother and father.
It's his because it was on it that the neighbourhood collected him.
It's his because it's behind it that sits the house made out of sticks and palm leafs where he lives. It's his because he lets it teach him the few things he can learn without going to school.
It's his because it's from its palm tree that he collects the oil that he sells.
It's his because it's there where he spends his lazy Sundays.
It's his because he was the only person I found on the sand that day.

Do you actually bother to translate all of your texts or did you hire someone to do it? :o)
Great idea this double version system - looks so professional too! Only thing is: not so much mingling between portuguese and non-portuguese... so to help'n'solve that I'll just start droping in here instead! :D

Yes, the translation: the things I do to ensure equal rights to all humanity...!

In any case, you're very welcome to this side as well!
