Story Transcript:
Ca: Les fulles seques dansaven pel pati de l'Orfenat Sant Jordi.
En: The dry leaves danced across the courtyard of the Orfenat Sant Jordi.
Ca: Era tardor i l'aire fresc portava l'aroma de castanyes torrades dels carrers.
En: It was autumn, and the fresh air carried the aroma of roasted chestnuts from the streets.
Ca: A dins, els nens estaven emocionats.
En: Inside, the children were excited.
Ca: Halloween s'acostava i tothom parlava de les disfresses.
En: Halloween was approaching, and everyone was talking about costumes.
Ca: La Laia, amb els seus rínxols càlids, mirava el seu germà petit, l'Oriol.
En: Laia, with her warm curls, looked at her little brother, Oriol.
Ca: Volia veure’l feliç a la festa.
En: She wanted to see him happy at the party.
Ca: Però l’orfenat tenia un pressupost molt ajustat i les opcions eren poques.
En: But the orphanage had a very tight budget, and the options were few.
Ca: “Què t’agradaria ser?
En: "What would you like to be?"
Ca: ” li va preguntar amb una mica d'ansietat.
En: she asked with a bit of anxiety.
Ca: “Un drac”, va murmurar l'Oriol, la seva veu plena d'il·lusió.
En: "A dragon," Oriol murmured, his voice full of excitement.
Ca: La Nuria, sempre amb el nas ficat a tot arreu, tenia una idea.
En: Nuria, always with her nose in everything, had an idea.
Ca: “Fem un grup de superherois!
En: "Let's make a group of superheroes!
Ca: Tindrem l'èxit de la festa!
En: We’ll be the hit of the party!"
Ca: ”, va exclamar.
En: she exclaimed.
Ca: Però l'Oriol no semblava convençut.
En: But Oriol didn't seem convinced.
Ca: Els superherois no el emocionaven tant com els dracs.
En: Superheroes didn't thrill him as much as dragons did.
Ca: La Laia es va adonar del dilema.
En: Laia realized the dilemma.
Ca: Volia fer feliç el seu germà, però també volia mantenir l'harmonia amb els altres nens.
En: She wanted to make her brother happy but also wanted to maintain harmony with the other children.
Ca: Van anar a fer una ullada a les disfresses al poble.
En: They went to take a look at the costumes in the village.
Ca: Hi havia capa de superheroi, vestit de vampir, i allà, al racó, un magnífic drac verd amb ales brillants.
En: There was a superhero cape, a vampire suit, and there, in the corner, a magnificent green dragon with shiny wings.
Ca: Era perfecte.
En: It was perfect.
Ca: “És per a l'Oriol!
En: "It's for Oriol!"
Ca: ”, va pensar la Laia amb un somriure.
En: Laia thought with a smile.
Ca: Però la Nuria també havia posat els ulls sobre aquell drac.
En: But Nuria had also set her eyes on that dragon.
Ca: “Amb això farem el grup més original d’aquesta festa!
En: "With this, we’ll have the most original group at the party!"
Ca: ”, va dir, decidida a defensar la seva idea.
En: she said, determined to defend her idea.
Ca: La Laia va respirar profundament.
En: Laia took a deep breath.
Ca: Sabia que era el moment de parlar pel seu germà.
En: She knew this was the moment to speak for her brother.
Ca: “Nuria, l'Oriol mai no demana res.
En: "Nuria, Oriol never asks for anything.
Ca: Això de ser un drac el faria molt feliç.
En: Being a dragon would make him very happy.
Ca: Podem fer
