Pt: As flores vibrantes destacavam-se sob o sol, enquanto uma brisa suave acariciava as folhas das árvores antigas.

Pt: Carla estava lá também, mas com um propósito diferente. En: Carla was there too, but with a different purpose. Pt: Com uma prancheta nas mãos e os óculos equilibrados no nariz, observava atentamente os papagaios na grande gaiola. En: With a clipboard in hand and glasses balanced on her nose, she watched the parrots in the large cage attentively. Pt: Estava determinada a impressionar seu mentor com um relatório detalhado sobre o comportamento das aves. En: She was determined to impress her mentor with a detailed report on the behavior of the birds. Pt: Enquanto João cuidava das plantas ao redor da aviária, algo inesperado aconteceu.

En: A gust of wind made the door of the cage swing, and before anyone could intervene, a group of parrots escaped, scattering throughout the garden. Pt: “Os papagaios!” gritou Carla, correndo atrás das aves que voavam alegremente de árvore em árvore. En: “The parrots!” shouted Carla, running after the birds that were joyfully flying from tree to tree. Pt: João suspirou, sua tranquilidade estava comprometida.

En: He looked at Carla, seeing the expression of panic on her face. Pt: “Vamos trazê-los de volta,” disse João, resignando-se a ajudar. En: “Let's bring them back,” said João, resigning himself to help. Pt: Carla hesitou, mas sabia que precisava da experiência de João. En: Carla hesitated but knew she needed João's experience. Pt: “O que fazemos?” perguntou ela, confiando que juntas, conseguiriam resolver a situação. En: “What do we do?” she asked, trusting that together, they could resolve the situation. Pt: João sorriu, embora fosse contra seu desejo de paz solitária. En: João smiled, although it was against his desire for solitary peace. Pt: “Tenho um truque. En: “I have a trick. Pt: Sunflower seeds. En: Sunflower seeds. Pt: Eles adoram!”, disse, revelando um saco de sementes de girassol que guardava para momentos especiais. En: They love them!” he said, revealing a bag of sunflower seeds he kept for special moments. Pt: Juntos percorreram o jardim, equilibrando-se em ramos e agachando-se debaixo das folhas.
