Ca: Pere va veure que el terreny es feia més complicat més endavant.
En: Pere saw that the terrain became more complicated further ahead.

Ca: Joana es va adonar de la seva obstinació.
En: Joana realized her stubbornness.

Ca: Mirà als seus amics, i finalment va admetre: "Crec que necessito ajuda.
En: She looked at her friends, and finally admitted: "I think I need help.

Ca: No puc continuar sola.
En: I can't continue alone."

Ca: "En aquell moment, Montse somrigué i digué: "Som aquí per això.
