Story Transcript:

Ca: A les nits de primavera, la platja de la Lluna Plena brillava sota el cel estrellat.
En: At night in the spring, the beach of la Lluna Plena glowed under the starry sky.

Ca: Les ones de l'oceà s'acostaven suaument a la sorra, i el vent feia ballar les fulles dels arbres propers.
En: The ocean waves gently approached the sand, and the wind made the leaves of the nearby trees dance.

Ca: Sempre hi havia aquella llum misteriosa sobre l'aigua.
En: There was always that mysterious light over the water.

Ca: Cada nit, poc després de l'ocàs, un resplendor apareixia sobre el mar, il·luminant una raconada del trencant.
En: Every night, shortly after sunset, a glow appeared over the sea, illuminating a corner of the shoreline.

Ca: Laia era una noia valenta i curiosa.
En: Laia was a brave and curious girl.

Ca: Sempre havia sentit una atracció especial pel mar i pels seus secrets.
En: She had always felt a special attraction to the sea and its secrets.

Ca: Des que es va assabentar de la llum, va voler descobrir d'on venia i què significava.
En: Since she found out about the light, she wanted to discover where it came from and what it meant.

Ca: Els amics de Laia, en Marc i en Joan, no enteníen la seva obsessió.
En: Laia's friends, Marc and Joan, didn't understand her obsession.

Ca: "És només un reflex de la lluna", deia en Joan.
En: "It's just a reflection of the moon," Joan said.

Ca: "Una il·lusió òptica", afegia en Marc.
En: "An optical illusion," added Marc.

Ca: Els vilatans, per la seva banda, la advertien: "No t'acostis, és un mal presagi que ningú ha de trencar.
En: The villagers, on the other hand, warned her: "Don't go near it, it's a bad omen that no one should break."

Ca: "Però la Laia no es deixava dissuadir.
En: But Laia was not easily discouraged.

Ca: La seva curiositat era més forta que la por que intentaven inculcar-li.
En: Her curiosity was stronger than the fear they tried to instill in her.

Ca: Va decidir investigar la platja cada nit, en secret.
En: She decided to investigate the beach every night, in secret.

Ca: Amb el cor bategant, esperava que tots dormissin per poder començar la seva missió.
En: With her heart pounding, she waited for everyone to fall asleep so she could start her mission.

Ca: Armada amb una llanterna i una petita bossa, caminava amb pas ferm cap a la sorra misteriosa.
En: Armed with a flashlight and a small bag, she walked firmly toward the mysterious sand.

Ca: Una nit, el coratge de la Laia va ser recompensat.
En: One night, Laia's courage was rewarded.

Ca: Va veure una cosa que mai havia vist abans: una entrada amagada entre les roques.
En: She saw something she had never seen before: a hidden entrance among the rocks.

Ca: Amb els ulls fixos en la llum que semblava sortir d'allà dins, va decidir que no hi havia marxa enrere.
En: With her eyes fixed on the light that seemed to emanate from inside, she decided there was no turning back.

Ca: Va entrar al cau misteriós, sentint l'adrenalina córrer per les seves venes.
En: She entered the mysterious cave, feeling the adrenaline rush through her veins.

Ca: Dins la cova, la llum era encara més intensa.
En: Inside the cave, the light was even more intense.

Ca: Allà, ocult entre les pedres, va trobar un antic artefacte.
En: There, hidden...
