Ca: Amb un ampli somriure, Jordi comenta: "Maria, hauries de provar el plat autòcton, la truita amb xocolata".
En: With a big smile, Jordi comments, "Maria, you should try the local dish, omelette with chocolate."

Ca: Maria ho creu i, intentant convèncer al cambrer que parla català fluidament, demana això mateix.
