Story Transcript:

Pt: Num caloroso dia de verão, o Miradouro de Santa Catarina fervilhava de energia.
En: On a warm summer day, Miradouro de Santa Catarina buzzed with energy.

Pt: Turistas tiravam fotos, rio Tejo brilhava ao sol e uma leve brisa refrescava quem ali estava.
En: Tourists took photos, the rio Tejo gleamed in the sun, and a gentle breeze refreshed those present.

Pt: No meio de tudo isso, três amigos haviam decidido marcar uma partida de poker.
En: Amidst all this, three friends had decided to schedule a poker game.

Pt: Era o dia 15 de agosto, Assunção de Nossa Senhora, e o clima de festa estava por todo lado.
En: It was the 15th of August, the Assumption of Nossa Senhora, and the festive atmosphere was everywhere.

Pt: Ele era conhecido por nunca perder a calma, mas naquele dia, por dentro, estava nervoso.
En: He was known for never losing his composure, but that day, inside, he was nervous.

Pt: Inês, com um sorriso sagaz, lembrou-se de como queria impressionar os amigos.
En: Inês, with a sly smile, remembered how much she wanted to impress her friends.

Pt: Ela adorava observar expressões durante o jogo.
En: She loved observing expressions during the game.

Pt: E havia Rui, sempre pronto com uma piada, tornando o ambiente mais leve.

Pt: As cartas foram distribuídas, e o jogo começou.

En: With bright eyes, it eyed the snacks on the table.

En: Tiago, focused, tried to ignore it.

Pt: "Essa gaivota não vai me desconcentrar", murmurou ele.
En: "This seagull won't distract me," he murmured.

Pt: A gaivota, porém, tinha outros planos e fez tentativas para roubar um pedaço de pão.
En: The seagull, however, had other plans and attempted to steal a piece of bread.

Pt: Rui soltou uma gargalhada alta.
En: Rui let out a loud laugh.

Pt: "Esta gaivota é mais audaciosa que eu!"
En: "This seagull is bolder than I am!"

Pt: O jogo continuava, cada jogada mais tensa que a anterior.
En: The game continued, each move tenser than the last.

Pt: Tiago, sentindo que a sorte estaria a seu favor, decidiu ser mais agressivo.
