<DIV>Oy Marianne, Sandy, and Val,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Looks like my LIBRAS is still in my head.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just looked at the four circles in square pattern here, and I believe it's meant to be a dog barking "woof, woof, woof, woof". The fist hand (square) opens four times from the mouth area like a "bark". This is one of the Brazilian signs for "dog".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The first three signs are "boy" (something) + "dog" [end of sentence] [TITLE]</DIV>
<DIV>Then [next sentence] "boy" "with" "dog" "running" na (in the) "wind" "cold".</DIV>
<DIV>[next sentence] "dog" "wants" "new" "game"</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><IMG alt=rapaz src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-BR/dict/sl/rapaz.png" align=middle border=0>[rapaz/boy] <IMG alt=cachorro src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-BR/dict/sl/cachorro.png" align=middle border=0>[cachorro/dog] <IMG alt=vento src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-BR/dict/sl/vento.png" align=middle border=0>[vento/wind]</DIV>
<DIV><IMG alt=frio src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-BR/dict/sl/frio.png" align=middle border=0>[frio/cold] [note this sign is facial expression away from <IMG alt=verde_2 src="http://signbank.org/signpuddle/sgn-BR/dict/sl/verde_2.png" align=middle border=0>[verde/green]. so I can't be sure of whether it's "wind - green" or "wind - cold" but likely the latter.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Marianne can help us out here. The handwriting is actually quite clear.</DIV>
