Story Transcript:

Ca: Oriol estava assegut sota l'ombra fresca d'un antic olivera al Jardí Botànic de Barcelona.
En: Oriol was sitting under the cool shade of an ancient olive tree at the Jardí Botànic de Barcelona.

Ca: El dia de Sant Jordi era ple de roses, llibres i promeses d'històries noves.
En: The day of Sant Jordi was full of roses, books, and promises of new stories.

Ca: Però Oriol tenia la seva pròpia aventura en ment.
En: But Oriol had his own adventure in mind.

Ca: Mentre observava les arrels gruixudes i enredades de l'olivera, un petit objecte brillà entre la terra i les fulles seques.
En: As he observed the thick, tangled roots of the olive tree, a small object shone among the soil and dry leaves.

Ca: Curiós, s’ajupí i removia el terra amb cura.
En: Curious, he crouched down and carefully moved the soil.

Ca: Allà, va trobar una clau antiga, oxidada pel temps.
En: There, he found an old key, rusted with age.

Ca: El seu cor es va accelerar; poques vegades trobava alguna cosa tan intrigant.
En: His heart raced; he rarely found anything so intriguing.

Ca: Tot i tenir dubtes sobre llegendes antigues que circulaven pel jardí, Oriol mai va deixar de buscar la llavor llegendària que se suposava que atorgava saviesa.
En: Despite having doubts about the ancient legends that circulated around the garden, Oriol never stopped searching for the legendary seed that was supposed to grant wisdom.

Ca: "Penses que és un senyal?" va dir en veu alta, sabent que Júlia, la seva amiga de tota la vida, probablement li hauria dit que no fossin ximpleries.
En: "Do you think it's a sign?" he said aloud, knowing that Júlia, his lifelong friend, would probably tell him not to be silly.

Ca: Júlia va arribar poc després, somrient mentre portava un llibre sota el braç i una rosa a la mà.
En: Júlia arrived shortly after, smiling while carrying a book under her arm and a rose in her hand.

Ca: "Oriol, ets de debò pensant en llegendes de nou?", va riure.
En: "Oriol, are you really thinking about legends again?" she laughed.

Ca: "És només una clau vella, res més."
En: "It's just an old key, nothing more."

Ca: Però Oriol no podia evitar preguntar-se, què obria la clau?
En: But Oriol couldn't help but wonder, what did the key open?

Ca: En aquell moment, va aparèixer Martí, un home que sovint rondava pel jardí amb una mirada de qui coneix més del que diu.
En: At that moment, Martí appeared, a man who often wandered around the garden with a look of someone who knows more than he says.

Ca: "Tinc un mapa antic que podria ajudar", va dir Martí somrient.
En: "I have an old map that could help," said Martí with a smile.

Ca: Oriol va vacil·lar.
En: Oriol hesitated.

Ca: Coneixia poc sobre Martí, però la possibilitat d’una resolució el captivava.
En: He knew little about Martí, but the possibility of a resolution captivated him.

Ca: Amb el mapa en mà, Oriol i Martí es van moure entre les plantes exòtiques i les flors primaverals.
En: With the map in hand, Oriol and Martí moved through the exotic plants and spring flowers.

Ca: Júlia preferia no seguir-los, pensant que era una pèrdua de temps, però el seu entusiasme era contagiant.
En: Júlia preferred not to follow them, thinking it was a waste of time, but their enthusiasm was contagious.

Ca: "La clau pot ser de la sala secreta", va suggerir Martí mentre...
