Story Transcript:

Ca: En una tarda càlida i tranquil·la, Jordi, un noi ple d’energia i aventurer, decideix passejar per la ciutat de Barcelona.
En: On a warm and tranquil afternoon, Jordi, a boy full of energy and adventure, decides to stroll through the city of Barcelona.

Ca: Amb la seva motxilla a les espatlles i amb el sol brillant al cel, camina amb un somriure cap al Barri Gòtic.
En: With his backpack on his shoulders and the sun shining bright in the sky, he walks with a smile towards the Gothic Quarter.

Ca: Aquí a Barcelona, cada carreró té una història mil·lenària que contar.
En: Here in Barcelona, every narrow street has a millennia-old story to tell.

Ca: Però, aviat, Jordi es dóna compte que els carrerons allí són com un laberint.
En: But soon, Jordi realizes that the narrow streets there are like a maze.

Ca: Una volta aquí, una altra allà, cada carreró semblava igual que l’anterior.
En: One turn here, another there, each alley seemed the same as the previous.

Ca: Jordi, que pensava que coneixia Barcelona com la palma de la seva mà, resulta que es perd entre les parets de pedra del Barri Gòtic.
En: Jordi, who thought he knew Barcelona like the back of his hand, finds himself lost among the stone walls of the Gothic Quarter.

Ca: De sobte, se sent una mica nerviós.
En: Suddenly, he feels a little nervous.

Ca: Mira els carrerons estrets a cada costat, tots semblen iguals.
En: He looks at the narrow streets on either side, all seeming alike.

Ca: Les cases antigues de pedra es miren l’una a l’altra als dos costats del carrer.
En: The old stone houses gaze at each other on both sides of the street.

Ca: No hi ha ningú a la vista.
En: There is no one in sight.

Ca: Jordi es troba totalment sol i perdut.
En: Jordi feels completely alone and lost.

Ca: Però Jordi és un noi valent.
En: But Jordi is a brave boy.

Ca: Decideix seguir caminant confiant que trobarà el camí de tornada.
En: He decides to keep walking, confident that he will find his way back.

Ca: Passa per un carreró amb flors penjades als balcons.
En: He passes through an alley with flowers hanging from balconies.

Ca: Passa per una plaça petita amb una font antiga.
En: He goes through a small square with an old fountain.

Ca: Camina per un carrer on la melodia d’una guitarra flueix d'una finestra oberta.
En: He walks down a street where the melody of a guitar flows from an open window.

Ca: Just quan Jordi comença a sentir una mica de desesperació, escolta un so conegut.
En: Just as Jordi starts feeling a bit of desperation, he hears a familiar sound.

Ca: Mira al voltant, i veu una parada de gelats.
En: He looks around, and sees an ice cream stand.

Ca: Recorda haver vist aquesta parada abans!
En: He remembers seeing this stand before!

Ca: Està al començament del Barri Gòtic.
En: He is at the beginning of the Gothic Quarter.

Ca: Jordi corre cap alla, felicitant-se a si mateix per haver trobat bastant ràpid el camí del carreró on s'havia perdut.
En: Jordi runs towards it, congratulating himself for having found the way back quite quickly from where he got lost.

Ca: Quan finalment surt del Barri Gòtic, Jordi es dóna compte que ha après una lliçó important.
En: When he finally exits the Gothic Quarter, Jordi realizes he has learned an important lesson.

Ca: A vegades, pots pensar que coneixes un lloc, però hi ha sempre nous racons per descobrir.
En: Sometimes, you might think you know a place, but there are always new corners to discover.

Ca: I encara que et perdis, sempre hi haurà una manera de trobar el camí de tornada.
En: And even if you get lost, there will always be a way to find your way back.

Ca: Amb aquest pensament al cap, Jordi torna a caminar cap a casa, aquesta vegada triant un camí conegut.
En: With this thought in mind, Jordi walks back home, this time choosing a familiar path.

Ca: Però mentre camina, ja està planejant la seva pròxima aventura.
En: But as he walks, he is already planning his next adventure.

Ca: Aquest cop, però, portarà un mapa!
En: This time, though, he will bring a map!
