Pt: Tiago andava devagar, os seus tƩnis levantando um leve crepitar ao pisar as folhas secas.

Pt: "Sim, Ć© lindo," concordou JoĆ£o, acenando para um grupo de crianƧas que jogavam futebol mais Ć frente.
En: "Yes, it's beautiful," agreed JoĆ£o, waving at a group of children playing football up ahead.

Pt: "Vamos lĆ”," murmurou para si mesmo.
