Story Transcript:
Ca: Amb el primer raig del sol a la ciutat, l'aroma de les fruites fresques invaïa La Rambla a Barcelona.

Ca: Avui, anaven al mercat de La Boqueria per comprar fruita i verdura fresca.
En: Today, they were going to La Boqueria market to buy fresh fruits and vegetables.
Ca: “Marc, mira! Quina varietat de colors!” va exclamar Montserrat amb ulls brillants.
En: “Marc, look! What a variety of colors!” Montserrat exclaimed with shining eyes.
Ca: Les parades estaven plenes de taronges, plàtans, raïms i pomes.
En: The stalls were full of oranges, bananas, grapes, and apples.
Ca: Marc se sentia emocionat.
En: Marc felt excited.
Ca: “Anem a començar per les taronges,” va dir Marc.
En: “Let’s start with the oranges,” Marc said.
Ca: Van caminar cap a la parada de les taronges.
En: They walked over to the orange stall.
Ca: La venedora, una dona somrient, els va saludar amb energia.
En: The vendor, a smiling woman, greeted them energetically.
Ca: “Bon dia! Volen provar una taronja?”
En: “Good morning! Would you like to try an orange?”
Ca: Marc i Montserrat van tastar un tros de taronja.
En: Marc and Montserrat tasted a piece of orange.
Ca: Era dolça i sucosa.
En: It was sweet and juicy.
Ca: “Són perfectes!” va dir Montserrat.
En: “They’re perfect!” said Montserrat.
Ca: Van comprar una dotzena de taronges.
En: They bought a dozen oranges.
Ca: Després, van seguir cap a la parada dels tomàquets.
En: Then, they moved on to the tomato stall.
Ca: Els tomàquets vermells brillaven sota el sol.
En: The red tomatoes glistened under the sun.
Ca: “Necessitem aquests per l'amanida,” va dir Marc.
En: “We need these for the salad,” Marc said.
Ca: Al seu costat, un home gran va dir amb una rialla: “Aquests són els millors tomàquets de tota Barcelona!”
En: Next to them, an older man said with a laugh, “These are the best tomatoes in all of Barcelona!”
Ca: Montserrat va riure. “Doncs agafarem uns quants.”
En: Montserrat laughed. “Well, we’ll take a few.”
Ca: Finalment, van arribar a la parada dels raïms.
En: Finally, they arrived at the grape stall.
Ca: Les safates estaven plenes de raïms blancs i negres.
En: The trays were full of white and black grapes.
Ca: “Aquests raïms són bons per fer suc,” va dir Montserrat.
En: “These grapes are good for making juice,” Montserrat said.
Ca: Van comprar un quilo de raïms i començaven a sentir-se carregats de compres.
En: They bought a kilogram of grapes and began to feel loaded with purchases.
Ca: “Tornem a casa a preparar tot això,” va suggerir Marc.
En: “Let’s head home and get started on all of this,” Marc suggested.
Ca: De camí cap a casa, parlaven de com prepararien el sopar.
En: On the way home, they talked about how they would prepare dinner.
Ca: “Farem una amanida amb aquests tomàquets frescos i suc de raïm,” va dir Montserrat, amb un somriure als llavis.
En: “We’ll make a salad with these fresh tomatoes and some grape juice,” said Montserrat, with a smile on her lips.
Ca: De tornada al seu pis, van començar a preparar el sopar.
En: Back in their apartment, they began preparing dinner.
Ca: Els ingredients frescos que havien comprat feien olor deliciosa.
En: The fresh ingredients they had bought smelled delicious.
Ca: Marc tallava les taronges mentre Montserrat preparava una amanida amb els tomàquets.
En: Marc was slicing the oranges while Montserrat was making a salad with the tomatoes.
Ca: El sopar estava quasi llest.
En: Dinner was almost ready.
Ca: “Ja està tot a punt,” va dir Marc finalment.
En: “Everything is set,” Marc finally said.
Ca: Van asseure's a la taula, contemplant el menjar que havien preparat junts.
En: They sat down at the table, contemplating the food they had prepared together.
Ca: Cada mossegada era com un record del matí en La Boqueria.
En: Each bite was a reminder of the morning at La Boqueria.
Ca: “Crec que aquesta ha sigut una de les millors aventures al mercat,” va dir Montserrat, somrient plena de satisfacció.
En: “I think this has been one of the best market adventures,” Montserrat said, smiling with satisfaction.
Ca: “Sí, ha sigut un dia meravellós,” va respondre Marc.
En: “Yes, it has been a wonderful day,” Marc responded.
Ca: I així, amb els cors i estómacs plens, van gaudir d’un àpat saviament preparat, tancant el dia amb sentiments d’alegria i complaença.
En: And so, with their hearts and stomachs full, they enjoyed a well-prepared meal, closing the day with feelings of joy and contentment.
