En: The sun shone intensely on the Jardim Botânico de Lisboa.
Pt: As suas árvores majestosas ofereciam sombra, mas até as plantas mais resistentes pareciam sofrer.
En: Its majestic trees offered shade, but even the most resilient plants seemed to suffer.
Pt: Joana, uma horticultora dedicada, franzia a testa enquanto olhava para a planta rara que começava a murchar.
En: Joana, a dedicated horticulturist, frowned as she looked at the rare plant that was starting to wilt.

Pt: Sentia o suor escorrer pela nuca enquanto se ajoelhava ao lado da planta, observando cada folha.

Pt: Considerou por um momento se deveria pedir ajuda, mas temia julgamentos.

Pt: Enquanto regava gentilmente as raÃzes, percebeu algo incomum - pequenas manchas escuras nas folhas.

Pt: Aproximou-se para observar melhor e encontrou pequenos insetos escondidos.
En: She leaned in for a closer look and found tiny insects hidden.
Pt: Era uma infestação.

Pt: Respirou fundo e decidiu que era hora de aceitar ajuda.
En: She took a deep breath and decided it was time to accept help.
Pt: "Miguel, António", chamou, a voz misturando-se com uma brisa suave.
En: "Miguel, António," she called, her voice mingling with a gentle breeze.
