Story Transcript:

Ca: En un matí d'hivern, amb l'aire fresc de Barcelona a omplir el Parc Güell, Martí es preparava per a una nova jornada com a guia turístic.
En: On a winter morning, with the fresh air of Barcelona filling Parc Güell, Martí was preparing for a new day as a tour guide.

Ca: Els camins del parc, entre mosaics acolorits i formes ondulants, estaven menys concorreguts del que Martí estava acostumat, reflex d'una temporada tranquil·la.

Ca: Joan, sempre amb un estil més espectacular, arrossegava els turistes amb històries dramàtiques i gesticulacions grans.

Ca: Martí, en canvi, preferia un enfocament més pausat i íntim, explicant secrets del parc que poca gent coneixia.

Ca: Martí es trobava davant d'un grup petit, la majoria semblava indiferent.

Ca: Mentre parlava, notava les mirades que fugien cap al grup de Joan, amb el seu entusiasme desbordant.

Ca: Però Martí no es va rendir.
En: But Martí did not give up.

Ca: Sabia que les històries personals podien captar més l'atenció.

Ca: Va decidir parlar sobre la vida de Gaudí, sobre un lloc secret del parc on es diu que Gaudí havia trobat inspiració observant els ocells locals.
En: He decided to talk about Gaudí's life, about a secret place in the park where it is said that Gaudí found inspiration by observing local birds.

En: This started to awaken the interest of some tourists, including Anna, who asked him with curiosity.

Ca: Aprofitant l'oportunitat, Martí va aprofundir en els detalls.
En: Seizing the opportunity, Martí delved deeper into the details.

Ca: Va parlar sobre les influències orientals a les estructures, sobre el simbolisme amagant-se en les formes.

Ca: Mica en mica, el grup es va anar arrossegant cap a ell, atents i encuriosits.

Ca: Les paraules de Martí s'enlairaven per sobre dels vents d'hivern, ressonant amb calidesa entre els mosaics brillants.
En: Martí's words soared over the winter winds, resonating warmly among the bright mosaics.

Ca: Al final de la visita, una de les turistes, amb ulls brillants d'entusiasme, es va apropar a Martí.

Ca: "Ha estat increïble," va dir ella, "les seves explicacions han fet el parc cobrar vida. Ho explicaré a tothom."

Ca: No necessitava ser cridaner per triomfar; la seva passió i coneixement eren suficients per captivar cors.

Ca: Va comprendre que el seu estil, ple d'històries petites i desconegudes, tenia el seu valor en un món turístic competitiu.
En: He understood that his style, full of little-known stories, held its own value in a competitive tourism world.

Ca: Amb un somriure sincer, Martí va acomiadar-se del seu grup, el fred de l'aire d'hivern ara semblava menys intens, suau, embolcallant els seus pensaments amb esperances renovades.
En: With a sincere smile, Martí bid farewell to his group, the cold winter air now seemed less intense, gentle, wrapping his thoughts with renewed hopes.
