eram muitas horas de viagem. Ela dizia: “Para ouvir falar português, fico em
casa! Só preciso de ligar a televisão.”

Assim, fui eu com o meu pai… adorei! O Brasil é um país muito bonito!
Falar a língua deles foi muito bom: nunca me senti um turista, mas
quase como um brasileiro.

objetivo. De manhã cedo, saltou da cama, lavou-se rapidamente, comeu uns
biscoitos que encontrou na cozinha e saiu para a rua, com ar de quem vai
tratar de uma coisa urgente.

Passou por casa do avô para levar o cão dele: “Anda Mondegão! Vamos
partir em missão especial”, disse-lhe. O cão lá seguiu o Lobo e até parecia
que tinha compreendido.
