Dialogue
A: Bom, quer dizer que com o Minecraft você constrói a casa inteira? O que que você tá fazendo?
B: Ah não!
A: Como é que você para o incêndio?
B: Peraí! Acabei de escolher essa água. Isso não tá ajudando, agora vai ser mais difícil.
A: Ah entendi, quer dizer que você usou água para que a lava não queimasse a casa.
B: Ah não! Agora a casa está cheia de água. Como é que vou bloquear isso? Para!
A: Peraí, você encheu a casa de água!
B: É, mas foi sem querer.
A: Agora a casa tá uma piscina.
B: Não, como se faz para parar? Para! Acho que vou ter que desmontar a casa ou algo assim.
A: Well, in Minecraft do you build the whole house? Is that what you’re doing?
B: Oh no!
A: How do you stop it from burning?
B: Wait! I just choosed that water. That’s not helping, that’s making stuff harder.
A: Ah ha, so you stopped the lava from burning with the water.
B: Oh no, now the house is full of water! How do you block it? Stop!
A: Wait a minute, you filled the house with water!
B: Yes, I did not mean to.
A: Now the house is a swimming pool.
B: No, how do you stop it? Stop! I guess I’m going to have to take the house apart or something.
