Story Transcript:

Ca: Montserrat era majestuosa aquella primavera.
En: Montserrat was majestic that spring.

Ca: Els seus cims esculpits s'alçaven com gegants vigilants sobre el paisatge verd i ple de vida.
En: Its sculpted peaks rose like vigilant giants over the green and lively landscape.

Ca: Els ocells piulaven alegrement i una brisa suau acariciava les fulles dels arbres.
En: The birds chirped happily, and a gentle breeze caressed the leaves of the trees.

Ca: Jordi, un home de mitjana edat cansat de la rutina de despatx, buscava una escapada relaxant per Sant Jordi.
En: Jordi, a middle-aged man tired of the office routine, was looking for a relaxing getaway for Sant Jordi.

Ca: Havia llegit sobre un cap de setmana de relaxació a Montserrat, on esperava desconnectar i gaudir de la natura.
En: He had read about a relaxation weekend at Montserrat, where he hoped to disconnect and enjoy nature.

Ca: Assegut al tren cap a la muntanya, Jordi es relaxava llegint una novel·la.
En: Seated on the train towards the mountain, Jordi relaxed by reading a novel.

Ca: Quan va arribar, es va trobar amb un grup de persones que semblaven molt preparades i plenes d’energia.
En: When he arrived, he found himself with a group of people who seemed very prepared and full of energy.

Ca: Marta destacava entre elles amb un somriure càlid.
En: Marta stood out among them with a warm smile.

Ca: Jordi va pensar que aquest era l'inici perfecte per un cap de setmana tranquil.
En: Jordi thought this was the perfect start to a peaceful weekend.

Ca: Però aviat es va adonar que estava inscrit en un retir de ioga extrem, no en un cap de setmana relaxant.
En: But soon he realized that he was enrolled in an extreme yoga retreat, not a relaxing weekend.

Ca: Va decidir seguir amb la situació per no delatar el seu error.
En: He decided to go along with the situation to avoid revealing his mistake.

Ca: Potser així aconseguiria cridar l'atenció de Marta.
En: Perhaps this way, he would get Marta's attention.

Ca: Durant els dos primers dies, Jordi va lluitar per seguir el ritme del grup.
En: During the first two days, Jordi struggled to keep up with the group.

Ca: Sessions de ioga a l'alba, marxes intenses per camins empinats i meditació sobre roques eren constants.
En: Yoga sessions at dawn, intense hikes on steep paths, and meditation on rocks were constant.

Ca: Marta sovint li somreia, i això l’animava a continuar.
En: Marta often smiled at him, which encouraged him to continue.

Ca: El tercer dia, a dalt d'un penya-segat ventós, els participants intentaven una postura molt avançada.
En: On the third day, on top of a windy cliff, the participants were attempting a very advanced yoga pose.

Ca: Jordi, sense saber ben bé què feia, va acabar amb les cames en una estranya posició, i un cop perdut l’equilibri, va relliscar de manera còmica.
En: Jordi, not quite knowing what he was doing, ended up with his legs in a strange position, and once he lost balance, he slipped comically.

Ca: Va caure amb un estrèpit, fent que els altres riguessin.
En: He fell with a crash, making the others laugh.

Ca: Finalment, Jordi es va aixecar, rient també de la seva peripècia.
En: Finally, Jordi got up, laughing at his own mishap.

Ca: "No tenia ni idea de què feia!
En: "I had no idea what I was doing!"

Ca: ", va confessar entre rialles.
En: he confessed amid laughter.

Ca: Aquella honestedat va fer que els altres el veiessin no com un impostor, sinó com un amic que es trobava en la mateixa barca.
En: That honesty made the others see him not as an imposter but as a friend who was in the same boat.

Ca: A mesura que el cap de setmana s'acabava, Jordi va descobrir que havia trobat una comunitat inesperada.
En: As the weekend came to an end, Jordi discovered that he had found an unexpected community.

Ca: Marta li va dir que admirava la seva valentia per continuar endavant.
En: Marta told him she admired his courage to keep going.

Ca: Jordi va tornar a casa amb un somriure i amb la decisió d'obrir-se a noves experiències.
En: Jordi returned home with a smile and the decision to open up to new experiences.

Ca: Montserrat li havia ensenyat que la vida era millor amb una mica d'aventura i espontaneïtat.
En: Montserrat had taught him that life was better with a bit of adventure and spontaneity.

Ca: I, sense dubte, gràcies a aquells moments inesperats, havia fet amics per a tota la vida.
En: And, undoubtedly, thanks to those unexpected moments, he had made friends for life.
