Trava-Trela

Wisdom Watercolor style

In 'Trava-Trela,' 10-year-old Ciça embarks on a whimsical journey through lugares aleatórios, solving poetic tongue twisters to uncover hidden wisdom. But each verse brings a new challenge, and only curiosity and perseverance will lead her to the ultimate truth.

Ciça was a curious girl who loved exploring lugares aleatórios. One day, she found a mysterious book titled 'Trava-Trela' in her grandmother's attic. The book promised great wisdom hidden within its poetic tongue twisters. Excited, Ciça decided to solve all the riddles. Her first challenge was a tricky verse about a slippery snake.

Ciça struggled with the first tongue twister, repeating it over and over. She felt like the words were playing tricks on her. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get it right. 'How am I ever going to solve this?' she wondered. The pressure of the challenge weighed heavily on her.

Determined, Ciça took a deep breath and tried again. 'Serpente sibilante, serpente deslizante,' she repeated slowly. It was still difficult, but she wasn't ready to give up yet. Her curiosity pushed her forward. 'Maybe if I practice more, I can get it right,' she thought.

Ciça's next challenge was even harder. It was a verse about a jittery jaguar jumping joyfully. She stumbled over the words, feeling more frustrated. 'Why are these so hard?' she complained. Her friend Lucas overheard and offered to help.

- Let's try it together, Lucas suggested. - Okay, but it's really tricky, Ciça replied. They repeated the verse together, but still couldn't get it right. - We'll get it eventually, Lucas encouraged. - I hope so, Ciça sighed.

Despite their efforts, the tongue twisters kept getting harder. Next was a verse about a tricky turtle trotting tirelessly. Ciça tripped over the words again. 'This is impossible!' she exclaimed. Lucas tried to cheer her up, but she felt defeated.

- Don't give up, Ciça. We can do this, Lucas said. - But it's so hard, Ciça replied. They decided to take a break and think of a new strategy. Maybe there's a pattern we're missing, Lucas suggested. Ciça nodded, feeling a glimmer of hope.

Ciça and Lucas tried to find patterns in the tongue twisters. They noticed that practicing slowly helped a bit. 'Let's break it down into smaller parts,' Ciça suggested. They repeated each part slowly, then faster. It was still tough, but they started to see some progress.

The next tongue twister was about a buzzing bee bouncing on a blue balloon. They practiced it part by part. 'Buzzing bee, buzzing bee,' Ciça repeated. 'Bouncing on a blue balloon,' Lucas continued. They finally managed to say it correctly after many tries.

- We did it! Ciça cheered. - See, we just needed to break it down, Lucas smiled. Ciça felt a surge of confidence. They tackled the next tongue twister with the same strategy. It was still challenging, but they didn't feel as overwhelmed.

Despite their progress, Ciça felt exhausted. 'I don't know if I can keep going,' she admitted. Lucas looked worried. 'Maybe we should take a longer break,' he suggested. Ciça nodded, feeling a bit defeated. She wondered if they would ever solve the final riddle.

Ciça considered giving up. 'Maybe I'm not smart enough for this,' she thought. Lucas tried to encourage her, but she felt too worn out. 'I think we should stop,' she said sadly. The book seemed like an impossible challenge.

Just then, her grandmother entered the room. - Why so glum, Ciça? she asked. - These tongue twisters are impossible, Ciça replied. Her grandmother smiled. - Let me tell you a secret, she said, sitting beside them. - Wisdom often hides in the simplest places.

Her grandmother shared a story about her own journey with tongue twisters. - I struggled too, but I learned that patience and practice reveal the truth, she said. Ciça and Lucas listened intently. - You have the curiosity and determination to succeed, her grandmother encouraged.

Inspired by her grandmother's words, Ciça felt a renewed sense of purpose. - Let's give it another try, she said to Lucas. They tackled the final tongue twister together. With patience and practice, they finally succeeded. - We did it! Ciça exclaimed.

Ciça and Lucas felt a sense of accomplishment. - We couldn't have done it without you, Ciça said to her grandmother. - Remember, wisdom is not just about knowing the answers, but about the journey to find them, her grandmother replied. They all smiled, knowing they had learned something valuable.
