Story Transcript:

Ca: Era un dia bonic i assolellat a Barcelona, i la Rambla estava plena de gent que passejava i comprava souvenirs.
En: It was a beautiful and sunny day in Barcelona, and the Rambla was full of people walking and buying souvenirs.

Ca: Marta i Jordi, dos amics de tota la vida, estaven caminant i gaudint dels bonics edificis i la gent animada al seu voltant.
En: Marta and Jordi, two lifelong friends, were walking and enjoying the beautiful buildings and lively people around them.

Ca: Marta va veure un bonic mural a la paret i va decidir que era un bon lloc per a fer-se una selfie.
En: Marta saw a nice mural on the wall and decided it was a good place to take a selfie.

Ca: Va agafar el seu telèfon i va estirar el braç per a enquadernar tots dos al fons, però en fer-ho, va vessar sense voler una tassa de cafè a la camisa d'en Jordi.
En: He grabbed his phone and reached out to bind them both together at the bottom, but in doing so, he accidentally spilled a cup of coffee on George's shirt.

Ca: "Oh no!
En: "Oh no!"

Ca: " va dir Marta.
En: said Marta.

Ca: "Ho sento molt, Jordi!
En: "I'm so sorry, George!"

Ca: "En Jordi va mirar cap avall a la seva camisa i va fer una cara trista.
En: Jordi looked down at his shirt and made a sad face.

Ca: "Hauré de canviar-me de camisa ara mateix," va dir ell.
En: "I'll have to change my shirt right now," he said.

Ca: Però llavors, la Marta va començar a riure.
En: But then, Marta started laughing.

Ca: "Ho sento, és que sembla que tinc una mena de maledicció amb les selfies!
En: "Sorry, I seem to have some kind of curse with selfies!

Ca: Sempre passa alguna cosa divertida.
En: There's always something funny going on."

Ca: "En Jordi també va començar a riure i van passar els pròxims minuts intentant netejar la camisa d'en Jordi amb servilletes i intentant fer servir el telèfon per fer una selfie mentre reien.
En: Jordi started laughing too and they spent the next few minutes trying to clean Jordi's shirt with napkins and trying to use the phone to take a selfie while laughing.

Ca: Finalment, la Marta va mirar el rellotge i va adonar-se que havien de reunir-se amb altres amics.
En: Finally, Marta looked at her watch and realized that they had to meet up with other friends.

Ca: "Oh, ja és tard!
En: "Oh, it's late!

Ca: Hem de marxar.
En: We have to go."

Ca: "Van caminar uns quants minuts junts fins que van arribar al lloc de la trobada, on els altres amics els van saludar alegrement.
En: They walked together for several minutes until they reached the meeting place, where the other friends greeted them cheerfully.

Ca: Marta i Jordi van explicar la història de la selfie amb el cafè i van riure mentre ho feien.
En: Marta and Jordi told the story of the selfie with the coffee and laughed while doing it.

Ca: I així va acabar una tarda bonica a Barcelona, amb les rialles de dos amics que van descobrir que fins i tot els accidents poden ser divertits si ho approven amb esperit positiu.
En: And so ended a beautiful afternoon in Barcelona, with the laughter of two friends who discovered that even accidents can be fun if they approve it with a positive spirit.
