Story Transcript:
Ca: Jordi va arribar a la platja de la Barceloneta amb molta gana.
En: Jordi arrived at Barceloneta beach very hungry.
Ca: Tenia un entrepà de pernil i formatge a la mà.
En: He had a ham and cheese sandwich in his hand.
Ca: Però abans de poder donar-li el primer mos, una gavina li va robar l'entrepà.
En: But before he could take the first bite, a seagull stole his sandwich.
Ca: Jordi va intentar espantar-la, però la gavina era forta i ràpida.
En: Jordi tried to scare her, but the seagull was strong and fast.
Ca: Va córrer per tota la platja, perseguit per l'ocell.
En: He ran all over the beach, chased by the bird.
Ca: Mentre corria, Jordi va adonar-se que era un bon dia de sol.
En: While running, Jordi noticed that it was a nice sunny day.
Ca: La platja estava plena de sorra blanca i fina.
En: The beach was full of fine white sand.
Ca: Les onades de mar s'arrossegaven a la vora i es convertien en espuma.
En: The waves of the sea washed up on the shore and turned into foam.
Ca: Les persones bronzegades prenien el sol i disfrutaven de l'aigua refrescant.
En: Tanned people were basking in the sun and enjoying the refreshing water.
Ca: La gavina no deixava anar l'entrepà.
En: The seagull wouldn't let go of the sandwich.
Ca: Jordi estava cansat i enfadat.
En: Jordi was tired and angry.
Ca: Va agafar un pom de sorra i el va llençar cap a l'ocell.
En: He picked up a knob of sand and threw it at the bird.
Ca: Va fallar el tir i va botar a terra.
En: He missed the shot and fell to the ground.
Ca: Les persones van riure.
En: People laughed.
Ca: Jordi va continuar corrent amb més força, però la gavina era més ràpida.
En: Jordi continued to run faster, but the seagull was faster.
Ca: De sobte, Jordi va veure una cistella de pícnic al fons de la platja.
En: Suddenly, Jordi saw a picnic basket at the bottom of the beach.
Ca: Hi havia moltes gavines al voltant.
En: There were many seagulls around.
Ca: Va tenir una idea brillant.
En: He had a brilliant idea.
Ca: Va córrer cap a la cistella i la va aixecar.
En: He ran to the basket and lifted it up.
Ca: Les gavines es van espantar i van sortir volant.
En: The seagulls got scared and flew away.
Ca: Jordi va recuperar l'entrepà.
En: Jordi retrieved the sandwich.
Ca: Estava una mica brut de la sorra, però el podia menjar.
En: It was a little dirty from the sand, but I could eat it.
Ca: Jordi es va asseure a la sorra per menjar-se l'entrepà.
En: Jordi sat on the sand to eat his sandwich.
Ca: Estava deliciós.
En: It was delicious.
Ca: El pa cruixent combinava perfectament amb el pernil salat i el formatge tou.
En: The crusty bread paired perfectly with the salty ham and soft cheese.
Ca: Es va relaxar i va gaudir del sol que acariciava la seva pell.
En: He relaxed and enjoyed the sun caressing his skin.
Ca: De sobte, va sentir un picotet al peu.
En: Suddenly, he felt a peck on his foot.
Ca: Va mirar cap avall i va veure una gavina petita que volava prop seu.
En: He looked down and saw a small seagull flying near him.
Ca: L'ocell intentava robar-li l'entrepà altre cop.
En: The bird was trying to steal his sandwich again.
Ca: Jordi va riure i va apartar el peu.
En: Jordi laughed and moved his foot away.
Ca: La gavina es va posar trista i va marxar.
En: The seagull became sad and went away.
Ca: Jordi va menjar-se tranquil·lament l'entrepà fins a l'últim mos.
En: Jordi calmly ate the sandwich until the last bite.
Ca: Va mirar el mar, va escoltar les onades i va respirar l'aire salat que omplia el seu nas.
En: He looked at the sea, listened to the waves and breathed in the salty air that filled his nose.
Ca: Estava content de poder gaudir del seu entrepà finalment.
En: He was glad he could finally enjoy his sandwich.
Ca: Després de menjar, Jordi va decidir banyar-se al mar.
En: After eating, Jordi decided to swim in the sea.
Ca: Esquitxant aigua fresca a les seves cames, caminava cap a l'aigua.
En: Splashing cool water on his legs, he walked towards the water.
Ca: Va nedar, va fer salts i va riure.
En: He swam, jumped and laughed.
Ca: Les gavines volaven sobre ell, però ja no intentaven robar-li res.
En: The seagulls flew over him, but they no longer tried to steal anything from him.
Ca: Estaven ocupades cercant altres aliments.
En: They were busy looking for other food.
Ca: Jordi va passar un meravellós dia a la platja de la Barceloneta.
En: Jordi spent a wonderful day at Barceloneta beach.
Ca: Va superar el seu obstacle amb la gavina robadora d'entrepà.
En: He overcame his obstacle with the sandwich-stealing seagull.
Ca: Ara ja sabia que havia de ser més astut la propera vegada.
En: Now he knew he had to be smarter next time.
Ca: La platja era un lloc màgic ple d'aventures divertides.
En: The beach was a magical place full of fun adventures.
Ca: Va tornar a casa amb un somriure al seu rostre satisfet.
En: He returned home with a satisfied smile on his face.
Ca: Tornaria a la platja de la Barceloneta aviat, però aquest cop estaria preparat per a qualsevol gavina que vingués pel seu entrepà.
En: He would return to Barceloneta beach soon, but this time he would be ready for any seagull that came for his sandwich.
