Ca: El sol escalfava la famosa avinguda de La Rambla, a Barcelona.
En: The sun was scorching on Barcelona's famous avenue, La Rambla.

Ca: Martí, un jove esportista amb un somriure relaxant, es trobava amb Laura, la seva millor amiga des de la infància coneguda per la seva alegria contagiada.
En: Martí, a young athlete with a relaxing smile, was with Laura, his best friend since childhood known for her contagious joy.

Ca: Passejaven per aquella avinguda animada, amb les seves parades colorides de flors, els venedors ambulants i els artistes de carrer.
En: They strolled along that lively avenue, with its colorful flower stalls, street vendors, and street performers.

Ca: De sobte, un home vestit de pallasso se'ls va acostar.
En: Suddenly, a man dressed as a clown approached them.

Ca: Tenia la cara pintada de colors vius i es movia amb una gràcia còmica.

En: On another side of La Rambla, Pau, a friend of Martí and Laura, was searching for his friends.

Ca: Amb el nas enganxat al mapa digital, avançava a través de la multitud, esquivant turistes, venedors i artistes de carrer.
En: With his nose glued to the digital map, he advanced through the crowd, dodging tourists, vendors, and street performers.

Ca: Estava perdut en una mar de rostres desconeguts.

Ca: Martí i Laura es reien, intentant seguir el ritme del pallasso.
En: Martí and Laura laughed, trying to keep up with the clown's rhythm.

Ca: Al cap d'una estona, però, començaren a buscar una forma de sortir de l'actuació.
En: After a while, however, they began to look for a way out of the performance.

Ca: L'energia del pallasso no tenia cap límit i els seus moviments còmics no paraven.
En: The clown's energy had no limit and his comedic movements didn't stop.

En: Quickly, he broke through the crowd to reach them.

Ca: "Digueu-me que us esteu divertint?
En: "Tell me you're having fun!"

Ca: " va cridar Pau, rient mentre veia la seva lluita amb el pallasso.
En: Pau shouted, laughing as he saw their struggle with the clown.

Ca: Martí i Laura, al veure a Pau, van trobar l'oportunitat perfecta per sortir de l'escenari cedint el seu lloc a Pau.

Ca: Benvingut al circ," van cridar, fent que Pau saltés d'una sorpresa a una altra.
