Pini y Kuri'i vivían entre los árboles, en el Chaco y ahí hace demasiado calor y ellos andaban entre los árboles y un día se perdieron por el camino y encontraron tunas y se quedaron a comer; una tortuga les estaba mirando ahí.

Pini and Kuri'i lived among the trees, in the Chaco, and there it was very hot and they were going around among the trees, and one day they got lost on the way and they found cacti and they stayed to eat; a turtle was looking at them.

Pini y Kuri'i escucharon lo que venía haciendo ruido y comenzaron a tener miedo, no sabían quién era el que venía ni para qué, entonces se fueron a esconder detrás de un árbol grande para que no les vean esos que venían. Seguramente esos vienen a querer matarnos, dijo Pini, vamos a escondernos mejor entonces, dijo Kuri'i, que no nos vean.

Pini and Kuri'i heard something that was making a lot of noise and they began to be afraid, they did not know who was coming nor why, so they went to hide behind a big tree so that those who were coming would not see them. Probably those were coming to kill them, said Pini, let's hide better then, said Kuri'i, so that they don't see us.

Y luego se dieron cuenta que eran unos señores que querían echar los árboles y ahí sique Pini y Kuri'i tenían más miedo aún. Busquemos un pozo para entrar, dijo Kuri'i; no, quedémonos aquí nomás, dijo Pini, quedémonos callados nomás dijo y ambos tenían mucho miedo. Luego miraron y vieron cómo derribaban los árboles con hacha y todos los nidos de los pajaritos echaban los señores.

And then they realized that they were men that wanted to throw down the trees and there Pini and Kuri'i were even more scared. Let's find a well to go into, said Kuri'i; no, let's stay there, said Pini, let's us just stay quiet and both were very scared. Then they looked and they how they were throwing down the trees with an axe and even the birds' nests the men were throwing down.

Después sique miraron nuevamente y vieron que ya se fue el camión, iba levantando polvareda por el camino y ahí salieron un poco más de detrás del árbol y vieron que no había quedado nada donde ellos estaban. Lloraron, lamentaron demasiado lo que hicieron esos señores, le dejaron sin casa, los pajaritos también se fueron todos porque ya no había árboles para hacer sus nidos. Pini y Kuri'i quedaron solos.

Then they looked again and they saw that the truck had left, it was blowing up dust on the way and there they came out a bit more from behind the tree and they saw that nothing had remained where they were. They cried, they lamented very much what those men had done, they left them without a home, the little birds also left because there were no more trees to make their nests in. Pini and Kuri'i remained alone.
