the recording: the speaker says “amita mea” which isn’t correct in
context]

translation
But
we boys were already asking for / demanding lunch,
for it was already 12 o’clock. What beautiful cookies and apples you had
given (us), aunt! How much the red and black berries delighted us [ =
we loved the red and black berries so much!] Then my uncle said, "When
we (will) have refreshed ourselves," he said,
"we will hurry home; for we will not not have
arrived before five o’clock; Meanwhile, your aunt, my Anthony, will
have waited for us. You’re satisfied with lunch, aren’t you?”
Then I said, "I won’t have felt like delaying.” And Alexander said,
"I am already ready." "But when will you be satisfied,
Marcus?" Then Marcus said, "I was hungry, for
I hadn’t had a bite to eat for five hours. But when I (will)
have revived myself with another apple, I will be ready.
You, Alexander, paid attention to / took interest in the cakes along the way,
for you are a little boy." We laugh, and soon we are on our way.
