Pb: Depois de quase desistir, Mateus encontrou o que procurava na barraca de Camila.

Pb: Isso é o que eu queria."
En: This is what I wanted."
Pb: Camila sorriu.

En: "Come back anytime."
Pb: Com suas novas aquisições, Mateus saiu da floresta com mais do que lembranças.

Pb: Ele aprendeu a valorizar a origem e a história de cada artefato.
