En: "Did you know there was once a village here that disappeared?" began Montserrat, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Ca: "És només una llegenda," va dir Jordi, sense desviar els ulls de la carretera.
En: "It's just a legend," said Jordi, without taking his eyes off the road.

Ca: "La meva àvia em va explicar aquesta història," va continuar Montserrat.
