Pb: A música alta do Carnaval estava no ar, e as cores das fantasias dançavam entre as árvores.
En: The loud music of Carnaval was in the air, and the colors of the costumes danced among the trees.
Pb: Tiago não conseguia conter a empolgação.

Pb: Ela carregava a bolsa com todos os remédios de Tiago, incluindo o inalador.
En: She carried the bag with all of Tiago's medicines, including the inhaler.

Pb: Tiago seguia o primo, rindo e se divertindo, esquecendo por um momento de sua asma.

Pb: O som dos tambores fazia seu coração bater no ritmo da alegria.

Pb: Rafael notou a expressĂŁo preocupada no rosto de Tiago e chamou pela tia Mariana.

En: Quick, come here!” he shouted, helping Tiago to sit down.
Pb: Mariana chegou correndo, o coração na garganta.
En: Mariana arrived running, her heart in her throat.
Pb: “Tiago, calma, respira fundo”, disse ela, já com o inalador na mão.

En: Tiago placed the inhaler in his mouth and inhaled deeply.
Pb: Lentamente, sentiu o alĂvio retornando.
En: Slowly, he felt relief returning.
Pb: Mariana olhou para os olhos ansiosos de Tiago.
En: Mariana looked into the anxious eyes of Tiago.
Pb: “Devemos ir embora?”, sugeriu ela suavemente.
En: “Should we leave?” she gently suggested.
Pb: Tiago balançou a cabeça, teimoso, mas agradecido por sua mãe estar sempre atenta.
En: Tiago shook his head, stubborn but grateful for his moth
