* Illustrations by the French teams. * Texts by the Portuguese teams. A - Mrs Gage receives a letter.
Mrs. Gage was sitting in her chair, when suddenly she looked at the window and saw a man at the door of her house, who said: - Your dear brother passed away! Exclaimed the lord, handing him a letter from his brother. - Oh my God! Said the lady very amazed. And very sadly she cried reading the letter she had received.
B - In Rodmell, at her brother's house.
Mrs. Gages went to Rodmell and found a man named Mr. Stacey who took her to her brother's house. When she arrived at her brother's house, she saw that it was destroyed and old. However, she went to the lawyer and he said he had not found his brother's wealth.
C - At the lawyer.
After Mrs. Gage received the letter she left home, because in the letter he said that her brother had given her all his belongings. She went to Lewes to go to the lawyer and get her brother's things. Unfortunately, when she got to the lawyers, they said they had found nothing to give her.
D - Heading to Rodmell again!
Mrs Gage was returning to Rodmell while it was raining. Mrs. Gage hit a cow and fell into the mud. Arriving at Rodmell, she found her brother's house on fire!
E - A fire.
Mrs. Gage when she arrived at her brother's house, in Rodmell she saw the house start, but through the window she saw a parrot and went inside. She ran quickly to try to save the parrot, the parrot was in a room in the house, she immediately grabbed it and ran outside waiting for the fire to go out!
In the afternoon, the fire was already completely extinguished, she came in with the parrot. Quickly it was night, she was lying on the mattress and could not sleep because she was very worried about the fact that she did not know how she would return to her home with a parrot and without money. Later she heard a knock on the window, which was her parrot. She got up and opened the window, because to her surprise the parrot flew towards the ground, started to hit it, made a hollow noise, then Madame Gage broke the wood off the floor. Coming from there a very attractive light, when she looked she didn't believe she saw gold, she was very happy because she could already go home with her parrot.
F - Not at home!
She woke up in the middle of the night and heard the parrot calling for her. And she followed the parrot to see where he was going to take her. He came across his house in ashes. She saw the parrot madly biting the ground, then a board came loose and he found the coins her brother left her, which were covered with stones and dirt.
