como parte de um todo que dela depende,
a pequena folha experimenta uma perda,
pois os raios de luz que chegam do sol
não a tocam por inteiro,
e ela não cumpre sua função tão bem como deveria;
mas experimenta também um ganho:
a proteção do todo contra algo ruim
que pode chegar pelo ar,
soprado pelo vento,
assim como fez a própria poeira.

With the thin layer of dust that covers her,
as part of a whole that on her depends,
the little leaf experiences a loss,
for the rays of light that arrive from the sun
do not touch her entirely,
so she can not perform her task as well as she should;
but she also experiences a gain:
the protection of the whole against something bad
that may come through the air
blown by the wind
just as did the dust itself.
