Que história brutal :O
Adoro esses episódios que explicam história, os origens de dias especiais etc.

What Day is It?
Numbers 1
Numbers 2
Temporal Relationships
Yikes!! Pela janela!!
Molly, thanks for that I shall have a look. It’s usually long dates like 1652 etc and numbers above 100 that I struggle with. Love the shorties by the way!
A mesmo scena como começa a guerra de 30 anos!
