Story Transcript:
Ca: Les llums del mercat brillaven amb força aquell matí fred d'hivern.
En: The market lights shone brightly that cold winter morning.
Ca: La plaça era plena de gent, amb estands de colors i rialles que omplien l'aire.
En: The plaza was full of people, with colorful stands and laughter filling the air.
Ca: Era el Dia de l'Epifania, i tothom estava preparat per veure la desfilada dels Reis Mags.
En: It was the Day of Epiphany, and everyone was ready to see the parade of the Reis Mags.
Ca: Martí, un home sempre disposat a un somriure, duia una capa blava llarga i una corona resplendent sobre el cap.
En: Martí, a man always ready with a smile, wore a long blue cloak and a shining crown on his head.
Ca: Avui es convertia en un dels famosos tres Reis Mags.
En: Today he was becoming one of the famous three Reis Mags.
Ca: Secretament, Martí esperava que Ana, la noia que treballava al mercat, el veiés i quedés impressionada.
En: Secretly, Martí hoped that Ana, the girl who worked at the market, would see him and be impressed.
Ca: Ana estava ocupada venent fruites al seu estand, però Martí sempre la podia veure des de la seva posició.
En: Ana was busy selling fruits at her stand, but Martí could always see her from his position.
Ca: Buscava moments per creuar la mirada amb ella entre la multitud.
En: He looked for moments to lock eyes with her amidst the crowd.
Ca: Darrere seu, Ferrán, un altre dels Reis, es preparava amb el camell de cartró.
En: Behind him, Ferrán, another of the Reis, was preparing with the cardboard camel.
Ca: Martí estava nerviós però decidit a donar el millor de si mateix.
En: Martí was nervous but determined to give his best.
Ca: Mentre caminava amb gràcia per entre la gent, Martí va sentir un estirament sobtat.
En: As he walked gracefully through the people, Martí felt a sudden tug.
Ca: La seva capa reial s'havia enganxat a un carro ple de taronges.
En: His royal cloak had gotten caught on a cart full of oranges.
Ca: En un instant, les taronges començaren a rodolar per tot arreu, i les persones al seu voltant intentaven evitar el petit desastre.
En: In an instant, the oranges began to roll everywhere, and the people around him tried to avoid the small disaster.
Ca: Va ser un caos però també molt divertit.
En: It was chaos but also very amusing.
Ca: La gent relliscava i reia, i les rialles es multiplicaven.
En: People slipped and laughed, and the laughter multiplied.
Ca: Encara atrapat, Martí va decidir somriure i continuar amb el seu paper de Rei.
En: Still trapped, Martí decided to smile and continue his role as the Rei.
Ca: Mirava a la llunyania, intentant actuar com si res hagués passat.
En: He looked into the distance, trying to act as if nothing had happened.
Ca: Finalment, Ferrán va apropar-se per ajudar-lo, i amb habilitat i molta paciència va aconseguir alliberar la capa de Martí.
En: Finally, Ferrán approached to help him, and with skill and much patience, managed to free Martí's cloak.
Ca: El mercat es va omplir d'aplaudiments espontanis, i Martí, amb les galtes enceses, va deixar anar una rialla que va contagiar tots els presents.
En: The market filled with spontaneous applause, and Martí, with flushed cheeks, let out a laugh that was contagious to everyone present.
Ca: Ana, que ho havia vist tot des del seu estand, es va apropar rient
