Pb: Logo ao começar, Mateus sentiu suas pálpebras pesarem como chumbo.
En: As soon as it began, Mateus felt his eyelids grow heavy as lead.
Pb: Ele tentou resistir, mas aos poucos, sua cabeça foi caindo e, antes que percebesse, ele estava roncando.
En: He tried to resist, but gradually, his head started to droop, and before he knew it, he was snoring.
Pb: O som ecoou pelo salão.
En: The sound echoed through the hall.
Pb: Clara e João tentaram abafar risadas, mas logo todo o grupo não conseguiu evitar se unir ao coro de gargalhadas.
