Dialogue
A: Oba! Tem Goldfish*! Eu amo Goldfish!
B: Eu prefiro Chex Mix**, mas Goldfish é bom também.
A: Humm.. agora fiquei a fim de um Chex Mix. Pergunta pra mamãe se ela botou na lista de compras.
B: Botou, já perguntei. Mas… a gente podia comer umas frutas em vez de biscoito. Assim, quando o Chex Mix chegar, a gente pode misturar com o Goldfish e inventar um lanche novo.
A: Um mix de Chex Mix! Adorei isso! Vou guardar estes Goldfish até lá. Vou comer mirtilo congelado. E você?
B: Uma maçã. Amo maçã. Mas hummm! Adoro toranja também. Se me conheço bem vou acabar comendo os dois.
A: Ah! Eu não gosto de maçã, mas sou doida por toranja também. Uma vez comi quatro num dia só!
B: Caramba! Não sei se sou tão fã assim de toranja...
A: Yes! We have Goldfish! I love Goldfish!
B: I’m more of a Chex Mix person myself, but Goldfish are good too.
A: Ooh… now I am in the mood for Chex Mix. Ask mom if she added it to the shopping list.
B: She did, I already asked. Although… maybe we should eat some fruit instead. That way, when the Chex Mix arrives, we can mix it with the Goldfish and create a new snack.
A: A Chex Mix-Mix! I love it. I’m gonna save these Goldfish until then. I’m gonna eat frozen blueberries. What about you?
B: An apple. I love apples. But hummm! I like grapefruit too! Knowing me I will eat both.
A: Ha. I don’t like apples, but I’m crazy about grapefruit. I once ate four in one day!
B: Wow… I don’t know if I’m that into grapefruit.
