En: In the heart of the green mountains of the Parc Natural del Montseny, the summer sun shone through the leaves of the ancient oak trees.

Ca: En Jordi i la Núria caminaven pel sender, envoltats d'un aire fresc i ple de la fragància dels pins.

Ca: "No ho sé, però hem de ser prudents", va respondre la Núria, mentre es netejava les mans de terra.
