Es: Risueño y animado, Carlos decidió probar algo nuevo del menú.
En: Smiling and animated, Carlos decided to try something new from the menu.
Es: Los caracoles parecían una opción intrigante y se aventuró a pedir un plato.
En: The snails seemed like an intriguing option and he ventured to order a dish.
Es: Al recibirlo, su entusiasmo previo se desvaneció, viendo un plato lleno de lo que para él parecían conchas vacías.
En: Upon receiving it, his previous enthusiasm faded as he saw a plate full of what appeared to him as empty shells.
Es: María, su compañera de aventuras, lo observó con diversión.
En: María, his adventurous companion, observed him with amusement.
Es: Su risa se ahogó en su garganta, mientras luchaba por mantener una cara seria ante su amigo.
En: Her laughter was stifled in her throat as she struggled to maintain a serious face in front of her friend.
Es: Sabía que Carlos pensaba que los caracoles eran los de jardín, y no comestibles.
En: She knew Carlos thought the snails were garden snails and not edible.
Es: Su inocencia era conmovedora y, secretamente, le parecía gracioso.

Es: Carlos tragó saliva, mientras veía con preocupación las criaturas viscosas que se movían en su plato.
En: Carlos swallowed hard as he watched the slimy creatures moving on his plate with concern.
Es: Los caracoles eran una de sus grandes fobias, y nunca habría pensado que terminaría teniéndolos para la cena.
En: Snails were one of his biggest fears, and he would have never thought he would end up having them for dinner.
Es: Pero no quería parecer un cobarde delante de María, y mucho menos débil, así que envainó su miedo y decidió que comería esos "caracoles" en su plato, por más escalofriante que pareciesen.
En: But he didn't want to seem cowardly in front of María, let alone weak, so he suppressed his fear and decided he would eat those "snails" on his plate, no matter how creepy they seemed.
Es: María, viendo a su amigo ser tan valiente, decidió intervenir.
En: María, seeing her friend being so brave, decided to intervene.
Es: Quería ayudarlo, pero también quería reparar el malentendido.
En: She wanted to help him, but also wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.
Es: "Carlos," empezó, "sabes que esos son caracoles de verdad, ¿no?
En: "Carlos," she began, "you do know those are real snails, right?"
Es: " Su tono estaba lleno de calidez, intentando que su amigo no se sintiera avergonzado.
En: Her tone was filled with warmth, trying to make her friend not feel embarrassed.
Es: El shock se dibujó en la cara de Carlos pero asintió con bravura.
En: Shock appeared on Carlos' face but he bravely nodded.
Es: Sonrió agradecido a María por su apoyo mientras tomaba su tenedor y se animaba a probarlos.
En: He smiled gratefully at María for her support as he picked up his fork and encouraged himself to taste them.
Es: Para su sorpresa, los caracoles resultaron ser más sabrosos de lo que imaginaba y pudo pasar el resto de la cena disfrutando con su amiga, riendo sobre su divertido error.
En: To his surprise, the snails turned out to be more delicious than he imagined, and he was able to spend the rest of the dinner enjoying with his friend, laughing about his funny mistake.
