tempo sem sucesso, Catarina finalmente viu alguém com um guarda-sol muito parecido com o deles.En: After searching for quite a while without success, Catarina finally saw someone with a beach umbrella

alívio.En: Catarina felt a wave of relief.Pb: Não muito longe dali, Bruno apareceu, finalmente focado, e riu ao ver Catarina de volta com o objeto perdido.En: Not far away, Bruno appeared, finally focused, and laughed upon seeing Catarina back with the lost item.Pb: "Você encontrou!En: "You found it!Pb: Sabia que conseguiria," Bruno disse, piscando.En: I knew you could do it," Bruno said,
