      It’s called “o meu pé de laranja lima” and it’s from a Brazilian author, and I suspected you were trolling but now I know for sure. Or else you’re just dumb. Either way bye

        I don’t understand how? I literally just saw your handle and remembered that book because it’s usually part of the advanced Spanish classes in highschool. That’s all. I don’t even know who you are or where you’re from. Sorry if you 🤕 hurt.
