En: His mind often got lost in the beauty of his surroundings, and that day was no different.

Ca: Amb les primeres brises del matí, Marc va girar la mirada per un moment i, quan va tornar a la seva tasca, es va adonar que el seu quadern de dibuixos havia desaparegut.

En: The park was full of tourists wandering the paths, making the job of finding the lost item difficult.

Ca: Marc tenia por de no arribar a temps al seu compromís.

Ca: Així que va decidir buscar ajuda.

Ca: Jordi, més aventurer, coneixia els racons del parc com ningú.
En: Jordi, more adventurous, knew the corners of the park like no one else.

Ca: Després d'explicar-los la situació, van decidir dividir-se per cobrir més terreny.
En: After explaining the situation to them, they decided to split up to cover more ground.

Ca: "Anem a buscar-lo nosaltres," va dir Jordi, mentre les seves passes es dirigien cap als jardins.

Ca: Marc va iniciar la seva cerca prop del Drac, l’emblemàtic trencadís que tant admirava.

Ca: Cada minut que passava, la seva preocupació creixia.
En: Every passing minute, his concern grew.

Ca: Veia turistes fent-se fotos, somrient amb desconeixement de la seva situació ansiosa.
En: He saw tourists taking photos, smiling unaware of his anxious situation.

Ca: L'estona passava i el sol es posicionava més alt.
