O ratinho marrom: origens e raízes

Vira e mexe alguém inculca com o nome da empresa. “Little Brown Mouse?”

Na verdade, vamos voltar a fita.

Muita gente demora um tempo para ter a curiosidade em saber o que significa LBM. “LBM?” Ah sim, “Little Brown Mouse”. Mas e aí? Qual é a do ratinho marrom? O que ele tem que os ratinhos brancos, pretos e malhados não têm?

Nós amamos todas as cores de ratinhos, mas o ratinho marrom é especial em nossos corações porque ele é um dos protagonistas no livro infantil “O grúfalo” (“The gruffalo”, no original). O outro protagonista é (SHOCKER) o grúfalo. O grúfalo é um monstrão grande, assustador, dono da floresta. Mas de onde ele saiu?

Curiosamente, da imaginação do ratinho. Confrontado por bichos predadores durante sua caminhada pela floresta, o ratinho vai engenhosamente se esquivando através da narrativa de que encontraria um certo “grúfalo”, uma criatura horrenda que ele vai descrevendo para os seus predadores para assustá-los e ser deixado em paz. A criatividade vai longe e, a cada predador encontrado, as características do tal companheiro do ratinho que está prestes a chegar se agravam e ficam mais ameaçadoras.

Ele pode ter defeito, mas é meu amigo.

Mas eis que, quando todos os predadores foram engambelados, surge quem? O G-R-Ú-F-A-L-O. E ele é tão raiz quanto o ratinho o havia descrito, e está pronto para fazer sanduíche de mouse. E agora, como se livrar da criatura mais assustadora da floresta? Acho que não é exagero dizer que a mente que criou o grúfalo poderia dar conta dele também. Numa sacada genial, o minúsculo ratinho diz ao grúfalo que ele não sabe com quem está mexendo. Como prova, pede que o grúfalo o siga pela floresta, pois assim ele veria que todos os animais tinham medo dele. Dito e feito: os predadores, que já haviam se reunido e manjado o esquema do ratinho, já o esperavam para o bote no caminho de volta. Ao baterem o olho no ratinho acompanhado do grúfalo, eles somem com os rabos literalmente entre as pernas e o ratinho retorna são e salvo, com histórias para contar por muitas gerações.

Aqui é Zé Pequeno, rapá.

***

O ratinho somos nozes nós. A empresa pequena, que se vira e faz acontecer. Tudo com muita graça, carisma e qualidade. Tudo feito por nós, da nossa imaginação e inteligência, driblando as dificuldades com perspicácia. No mercado da tradução, onde imperam grandes empresas grúfalas e abundam profissionais freelance, o ratinho acha o seu lugar oferecendo a gama de serviços que uma pessoa sozinha não conseguiria oferecer, com a excelência e atendimento que uma grande empresa tem dificuldade de atingir.  Go, mouse! <3

Sobre o livro

O livro de Julia Donaldson é um clássico britânico traduzido para diversas línguas. Aqui em território brazuca, ele pode ser encontrado em português nas principais livrarias. É um texto incrível, todo rimado, com ilustrações lindonas de Alex Scheffler. O livro ganhou um curta-metragem há alguns anos com narração da diva Helena Bonham-Carter, com visual muito fiel ao livro, que vale muito a pena ver.

Sobre amar “O Grúfalo”, só podemos dizer:

Confesso que dei uma despirocada numa viagem a Londres ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  14. First of all I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick
    question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear
    your head before writing. I’ve had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my
    ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the
    first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any
    recommendations or hints? Cheers!

  21. I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I come
    across a blog that’s both equally educative
    and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something that too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy that I came across this in my hunt for something concerning this.

    You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?
