Pt: Sentou-se numa pequena praƧa, refletindo sobre a sua situaĆ§Ć£o.
En: He sat down in a small square, reflecting on his situation.
Pt: "Se calhar, deveria comprar algo barato e pronto," pensou ele em voz alta.

Pt: "NĆ£o desistas ainda," encorajou JoĆ£o.
En: "Don't give up yet," encouraged JoĆ£o.
