CHALLENGING WORDS (DOZE, THOSE)

Julie was the mother of three beautiful girls. She loved her life, but she had to admit that she was happy when those girls decided to doze off for a while.

Julie era mãe de três lindas meninas.  Ela amava sua vida, mas ela tinha que admitir que ficava feliz quando aquelas meninas decidiam cochilar um pouco.

Whenever the girls began to doze, Julie would turn on the TV very quietly and enjoy her soap opera. If she played the TV any louder, the girls would finish their naps quickly and begin to watch her as she watched those soap operas.

Sempre que as meninas começavam a cochilar, Julie ligava a TV muito silenciosamente e curtia sua novela.  Se ela aumentasse a TV qualquer tanto, as meninas terminariam suas sonecas rapidamente e começariam a observá-la enquanto ela assistia às novelas.

As the girls got bigger and bigger, Julie realized her time was better spent if she dozed while the girls dozed. Those girls taught her so much about sharing time with those she loved and learning to doze as the opportunity presented itself.

À medida que as meninas ficavam cada vez maiores, Julie percebeu que seu tempo seria melhor gasto se ela cochilasse enquanto as meninas cochilavam.  Aquelas meninas lhe ensinaram muito sobre como compartilhar tempo com aqueles que ela amava e aprender a cochilar quando aparecia a oportunidade.
