En: Gaudí had created a world of fantasy in the middle of Barcelona, and on that sunny spring morning, the students from a local school were fortunate to visit the famous Park Güell.

Ca: ¿Què passa si els seus dibuixos no estaven a l'altura?

Ca: Mentre els seus amics reien i feien fotos, Marcel es debatia entre trobar un racó solitari o fer front a la seva por i dibuixar davant de tothom.

Ca: Finalment, va decidir que avui volia ser valent.
