Story Transcript:
Ca: Barcelona era un dia de festa i tota la ciutat era una gran festa.
En: Barcelona was a day of celebration and the whole city was a big party.
Ca: La Marta, el Jordi i la Laia havien decidit passar el dia a la plaça, on es celebrava un concurs casteller animat i còmic.
En: Marta, Jordi and Laia had decided to spend the day in the square, where an animated and comical casting contest was being held.
Ca: La plaça estava plena de gent, gaudint de l'aire lleuger de la primavera i esperant amb emoció l'inici del concurs.
En: The square was full of people, enjoying the light spring air and excitedly waiting for the start of the contest.
Ca: Marta, Jordi i Laia es van asseure en una fila de cadires reservades just davant de l'escenari on es realitzarien els castells.
En: Marta, Jordi and Laia sat in a row of reserved chairs right in front of the stage where the castles would be performed.
Ca: Finalment, va començar el concurs i els castellers van sortir a l'escenari amb molt d'entusiasme.
En: Finally, the contest began and the castellers took to the stage with great enthusiasm.
Ca: Vestits de colors vius i amb somriures a la cara, les diferents colles es llançaven a construir castells de tot tipus.
En: Dressed in bright colors and with smiles on their faces, the different gangs set out to build castles of all kinds.
Ca: La Marta, el Jordi i la Laia observaven atentament cada castell, maravellant-se de la força i la coordinació necessàries per construir-los.
En: Marta, Jordi and Laia carefully observed each castle, marveling at the strength and coordination required to build them.
Ca: Estaven tan emocionats que decidiren unir-se a una de les colles per a intentar construir un castell ells mateixos.
En: They were so excited that they decided to join one of the gangs to try to build a castle themselves.
Ca: Van buscar la colla més propera i els van demanar si els deixaven participar.
En: They looked for the nearest gang and asked them if they would let them participate.
Ca: Amb molta amabilitat, els van convidar a unir-se a ells i els van ensenyar com col·locar-se en la base del castell.
En: Very kindly, they invited them to join them and showed them how to place themselves in the base of the castle.
Ca: Amb cura i determinació, Marta, Jordi i Laia van ajudar a construir un castell de dos pisos.
En: With care and determination, Marta, Jordi and Laia helped build a two-story castle.
Ca: Quan ja semblava que estava a punt de caure, van tenir la idea de provar de construir el pis superior.
En: When it looked like it was about to fall, they had the idea of trying to build the top floor.
Ca: Amb un somriure valent als llavis, van començar a pujar els uns sobre els altres.
En: With a brave smile on their lips, they started climbing on top of each other.
Ca: La multitud animada els animava i aplaudia cada vegada que aconseguien mantenir-se en peu.
En: The lively crowd cheered and applauded each time they managed to stay on their feet.
Ca: Laia, que estava a dalt de tot, es va adonar que el seu vestit s'havia enganxat a la samarreta del Jordi.
En: Laia, who was on top of everything, noticed that her dress had caught on Jordi's shirt.
Ca: Va intentar moure's amb cura però va perdre l'equilibri i va començar a caure.
En: He tried to move carefully but lost his balance and started to fall.
Ca: Amb ràpid reflexe, Marta i Jordi van estirar-se per a agafar-la i evitar que es fes mal.
En: With quick reflexes, Marta and Jordi reached out to hold her and prevent her from getting hurt.
Ca: També van aconseguir mantenir l'equilibri i el castell va romandre intacte.
En: They also managed to keep the balance and the castle remained intact.
Ca: La multitud va esclatar en aplaudiments i crits d'alegria.
En: The crowd erupted in cheers and shouts of joy.
Ca: Marta, Jordi i Laia es van abraçar emocionats, satisfets de la seva aventura castellera.
En: Marta, Jordi and Laia hugged each other excitedly, satisfied with their castle adventure.
Ca: Van baixar del castell amb curesa i tornaran a la seva cadira aquest cop com a espectadors orgullosos dels castells que havien ajudat a construir.
En: They climbed down from the castle carefully and will return to their chair this time as proud spectators of the castles they had helped build.
Ca: Aquell dia, Barcelona va viure una gran història castellera, plena de rialles, suspens i treball en equip.
En: On that day, Barcelona experienced a great castella history, full of laughter, suspense and teamwork.
Ca: La Marta, el Jordi i la Laia es van adonar que la força i l'equilibri no només són necessaris per a construir un castell, sinó també per a superar els desafiaments de la vida.
En: Marta, Jordi and Laia realized that strength and balance are not only necessary to build a castle, but also to overcome life's challenges.
