We came back to the miracle of Fátima. And my new friend, almost choleric, swore that he had witnessed the sacred apparition, that he had seen the sun cutting mad capers.

Português (original)

Voltou-se ao milagre de Fátima. E o meu novo amigo, quasi colerico, jurava ter presenciado a aparição sagrada, ter visto o sol em cabriolas doidas.
