Pb: Os olhos dele brilharam.
En: His eyes lit up.
Pb: Era uma planta híbrida, rara e bela.
En: It was a rare and beautiful hybrid plant.
Pb: "É incrível!"
En: "It's incredible!"

En: exclaimed Mateus, carefully examining the plant.
Pb: Isabela também ficou impressionada.
En: Isabela was also impressed.
Pb: "Nunca vi essa planta aqui antes," ela admitiu.
En: "I've never seen this plant here before," she admitted.
Pb: Mateus, com o coração acelerado, começou a coletar amostras sob a orientação de Isabela.
En: Mateus, with a racing heart, began collecting samples under Isabela's guidance.
Pb: Miguel, agora ao seu lado, mostrava-se mais animado.
