Story Transcript:
Ca: Un matí assolellat a Barcelona, la ciutat vibrava amb vida.
En: A sunny morning in Barcelona, the city was buzzing with life.
Ca: La Rambla estava plena de gent: locals, turistes, venedors ambulants i artistes de carrer.
En: La Rambla was full of people: locals, tourists, street vendors, and street artists.
Ca: Jordi, Laia i Martí havien decidit passar el dia junts passejant per aquest lloc emblemàtic de la ciutat.
En: Jordi, Laia, and Martí had decided to spend the day together strolling through this iconic place in the city.
Ca: Martí, molt emocionat, va arribar primer a La Rambla.
En: Martí, very excited, was the first to arrive at La Rambla.
Ca: Mirava les estàtues vivents i els artistes pintant retrats, gaudint de cada moment.
En: He watched the living statues and the artists painting portraits, enjoying every moment.
Ca: Les flors del mercat aromatitzaven l'aire.
En: The flowers from the market scented the air.
Ca: Martí va veure un grup de gent i va pensar que eren Jordi i Laia.
En: Martí saw a group of people and thought they were Jordi and Laia.
Ca: Sense dubtar-ho, Martí es va unir al grup.
En: Without hesitation, Martí joined the group.
Ca: Escoltava atentament, però aviat es va adonar que parlaven d'una cosa estranya.
En: He listened attentively, but soon realized they were talking about something strange.
Ca: La guia estava explicant la història dels fanals de Barcelona.
En: The guide was explaining the history of Barcelona's street lamps.
Ca: Martí va escoltar atentament, una mica confós però interessat.
En: Martí listened carefully, a little confused but interested.
Ca: "... i aquest fanal, dissenyat per Gaudí, és un exemple de modernisme..."
En: "...and this street lamp, designed by Gaudí, is an example of modernism..."
Ca: De sobte, Martí es va adonar que havia comès un error.
En: Suddenly, Martí realized he had made a mistake.
Ca: Aquest no era el grup dels seus amics.
En: This was not his friends' group.
Ca: Va mirar al seu voltant i va veure Jordi i Laia a la distància, rient i saludant-lo.
En: He looked around and saw Jordi and Laia in the distance, laughing and waving at him.
Ca: Martí se'n va anar del grup de turistes amb un somriure i es va reunir amb els seus amics.
En: Martí left the group of tourists with a smile and joined his friends.
Ca: "Perdona, Martí, veiem que t'has unit al grup equivocat!" va dir Laia rient.
En: "Sorry, Martí, we saw you joined the wrong group!" said Laia, laughing.
Ca: "Què explicaven de tan interessant?" va preguntar Jordi.
En: "What were they explaining that was so interesting?" asked Jordi.
Ca: "Sabeu què? He après molt sobre els fanals de Barcelona!" va contestar Martí amb entusiasme.
En: "You know what? I learned a lot about Barcelona's street lamps!" Martí responded enthusiastically.
Ca: "Sabíeu que Gaudí va dissenyar alguns d'ells?"
En: "Did you know that Gaudí designed some of them?"
Ca: Els tres amics van riure i van continuar passejant per La Rambla.
En: The three friends laughed and continued strolling along La Rambla.
Ca: Decidiren que, tot i la confusió inicial, aquell matí havia estat molt interessant.
En: They decided that, despite the initial mix-up, that morning had been very interesting.
Ca: Van gaudir de les històries de Jordi, Laia i Martí, amb la ciutat de Barcelona com a majestuosa escenari.
En: They enjoyed the stories of Jordi, Laia, and Martí, with the city of Barcelona as a majestic backdrop.
Ca: La seva amistat es va enfortir amb les petites aventures i malentesos.
En: Their friendship grew stronger with the little adventures and misunderstandings.
Ca: Al final del dia, mentre els tres es prenien un refresc en una terrassa, Martí va pensar que a vegades, fins i tot les equivocacions porten a descobriments inesperats.
En: At the end of the day, as the three of them had a drink on a terrace, Martí thought that sometimes, even mistakes lead to unexpected discoveries.
Ca: I així, amb un somriure i una lliçó apresa, van tancar el seu dia a La Rambla de Barcelona.
En: And so, with a smile and a lesson learned, they ended their day on La Rambla of Barcelona.
