Story Transcript:

Es: En un rincón muy exclusivo de la ciudad, donde las casas brillaban como joyas bajo el sol de primavera, había una comunidad cerrada que olía a flores recién plantadas y donde el rumor de las hojas era más fuerte que el tráfico.
En: In a very exclusive corner of the city, where the houses shone like jewels under the spring sun, there was a gated community that smelled of freshly planted flowers and where the rustling of the leaves was louder than the traffic.

Es: En este lugar elegante y seguro, vivían personas como Marta, una mujer rica cuya casa resplandecía en cada temporada, pero ahora había un problema.

Es: Quería demostrar que podía resolver el misterio como cualquier detective adulto.
En: He wanted to show that he could solve the mystery like any adult detective.

Es: Diego, el guardia de seguridad del lugar, ya estaba en la escena, pero no le prestaba atención a Luis.

Es: Para Diego, el chico era solo un niño con demasiada imaginación.

Es: "Esto es trabajo serio", decía mientras encogía los hombros y hablaba con voz seria.

Es: Luis no se dejó desanimar.
En: Luis was not discouraged.

Es: Esa tarde, decidió investigar por su cuenta.
En: That afternoon, he decided to investigate on his own.

Es: Sin que nadie lo viera, inspeccionó el jardín de Marta, notando una ventana mal cerrada.
En: Without anyone noticing, he inspected Marta's garden, noticing a poorly closed window.

Es: "Tal vez el ladrón entró por aquí", pensó Luis.

Es: Esquivando detección, Luis exploró cada rincón del vecindario.

Es: Se recordó a sí mismo como "Luis, el gran detective", y esta idea lo impulsó aún más.

Es: En su mente, imaginaba aplausos y palmadas en la espalda cuando resolviera el misterio.
En: In his mind, he imagined applause and pats on the back when he solved the mystery.

Es: Luego, encontró algo extraño detrás de una serie de arbustos: una caja de metal medio enterrada.

Es: Emocionado, la abrió y allí estaba el objeto extraviado, reluciendo entre el polvo.
En: Excited, he opened it, and there was the missing object, gleaming amidst the dust.

Es: Sin embargo, al abrir la caja un sonido inesperado surgió: era un sistema de alarma silencioso que Diego había instalado sin que nadie lo supiera.
En: However, upon opening the box, an unexpected sound emerged: it was a silent alarm system that Diego had installed without anyone knowing.

Es: Explicó cómo había encontrado el objeto y su deseo de ganar respeto entre sus vecinos.
