No silêncio da floresta de Sintra, onde a névoa dança entre as Ôrvores e as pedras antigas sussurram segredos, três amigos preparavam-se para uma aventura.
In the silence of the floresta of Sintra, where the mist dances between the trees and the ancient stones whisper secrets, three friends were preparing for an adventure.
Era inverno, o ar estava frio e o espĆrito do Natal pairava no ar.
It was winter, the air was cold, and the spirit of Christmas hung in the air.
Mas a visĆ£o de LuĆs estava focada num mistĆ©rio muito mais antigo.
But LuĆs's vision was focused on a much older mystery.
LuĆs, Marta e JoĆ£o estavam ansiosos pelo projeto de exploração da escola na Temple Oculto de Sintra.
LuĆs, Marta, and JoĆ£o were eager for the school's exploration project at the Temple Oculto de Sintra.

Enquanto andavam pelas trilhas estreitas e cobertas de folhas, LuĆs mantinha os olhos atentos.

Mas João acreditava no amigo e o incentivava.

No dia da exploração, o grupo chegou ao temple.

LuĆs sussurrou para JoĆ£o que iria seguir o mapa que encontrara.
LuĆs whispered to JoĆ£o that he would follow the map he had found.
Mesmo com o coração a bater forte de ansiedade e uma pontada de medo do ridĆculo, ele decidiu confiar no instinto e avanƧar.
Even with his heart beating fast with anxiety and a tinge of fear of ridicule, he decided to trust his instinct and move forward.
Os passos cuidadosos levaram LuĆs a um canto escondido do templo.
Careful steps led LuĆs to a hidden corner of the temple.
Era uma pequena abertura na parede de pedra, quase imperceptĆvel.

João encorajou-o.
João encouraged him.
"Confia em ti, LuĆs.

Eles tĆŖm que ver isto."
They have to see this."
Com essas palavras, LuĆs ganhou a coragem necessĆ”ria para chamar o professor e os colegas.
With those words, LuĆs gained the courage needed to call the teacher and classmates.

A confianƧa crescia lentamente, nutrida pelo reconhecimento genuĆno de algo que só ele havia descoberto.
