As told by Maria de Jesus d'Oriol Pena Raposo
English

It was the little boy, who is the brother of little Jacintha and cousin of Lucia, [2v] who yesterday8 left me an excellent impression: a very bright look, a very cheerful face, very much at ease; he confirmed (he was interviewed by us alone) that Lucia had said at the moment of the miracle: *Look at the Sun

[…]

The little boy, when the people with me offered him everything they could think of, refused everything and ended by saying very enthusiastically: "Not even if you gave me the world".

Português (original)

O rapazinho, que é irmão da pequenina Jacintha e primo da Lucia, [2v] é que hontem8 me deixou uma optima impressão: olhar muito brilhante, cara muito alegre, muito á vontade, confirmou (a sós é que foi entrevistado por nós) que a Lucia dissera no momento do milagre: *Olhem para o Sol

[…]

O pequeno, offerecendo-lhe as pessoas que iam commigo tudo quanto se lembraram, e recusando tudo, acabou por dizer muito entusiasmado: "Nem que me dêem o mundo".
