TranslateOs viajantes viram algo no mar. Estava vindo lentamente em direção a eles.
O primeiro viajante disse: “Olha, há algo vindo na nossa direção no mar. O que poderia ser?”
The second traveller said, “Maybe it is a huge ship carrying gold and silver. Maybe they are looking for someone to share it with.”
TranslateO segundo viajante disse: “Talvez seja um enorme navio que transporta ouro e prata. Talvez estejam a procurar alguém com quem compartilhar. ”
The first traveller said, “Oh we are so lucky”
The object moved closer to them. It was not a ship.
