Pb: Na famosa Praia de Copacabana, a fita dourada de areia abraçava o mar, enquanto o sol de outono lançava um brilho suave sobre as águas azuis.

Pb: Era Páscoa, e a praia estava viva com famílias aproveitando o feriado prolongado.

Pb: Tiago, determinado e com um brilho competitivo nos olhos, estava sentado na areia, olhos fixos em sua missão.
