Sota el càlid sol d'estiu, el Jardí Botànic de Barcelona bullia de vida.
Under the warm summer sun, the Jardí Botànic de Barcelona teemed with life.
Els camins serpentegaven entre fulles verdes i flors acolorides.
The paths wound between green leaves and colorful flowers.
Visitants curiosos gaudien de la bellesa natural mentre buscaven ombra sota grans arbres.
Curious visitors enjoyed the natural beauty while seeking shade under large trees.
Martí, amb ulls brillants i un bloc de notes ple de curiositats botàniques, estava especialment emocionat.
Martí, with bright eyes and a notebook full of botanical curiosities, was particularly excited.
A la seva mà, una petita llista: una única planta rara que havia sentit que podria trobar-se al mercat d'estiu del jardí.
In his hand, a small list: a single rare plant he had heard might be found at the garden's summer market.
La seva amiga Laia l'acompanyava, esperant que Martí trobés aquesta joia verda que tant desitjava.
His friend Laia accompanied him, hoping that Martí would find the green gem he so desired.
"Segur que la pots trobar!
"I'm sure you can find it!"
" va dir Laia, amb un somriure encourage.
Laia said with an encouraging smile.
Però Martí també estava nerviós.
But Martí was also nervous.
Roc, el seu amic jardiner, no parava de dir-li que la planta no existia i que el mercat era només rumors.
Roc, his gardener friend, kept telling him that the plant didn't exist and that the market was just rumors.
"Martí, estàs segur que això no és només un conte de fades?
"Martí, are you sure this isn't just a fairy tale?"
" Roc el va burlar, mentre caminaven junts pels estands animats del mercat.
Roc teased him as they walked together through the lively market stalls.
Martí va dubtar un moment, però no volia rendir-se.
Martí hesitated for a moment, but he didn't want to give up.
Aquesta planta significava tot per a ell.
This plant meant everything to him.
L'aire feia una olor dolça, nòtol de la gran varietat de flors al voltant.
The air had a sweet scent, hinting at the great variety of flowers around.
Martí va decidir provar sort als racons menys visitats, pensant que allà podria amagar-se el seu tresor.
Martí decided to try his luck in the less-visited corners, thinking that his treasure might be hidden there.
"Tractaré de buscar en un lloc diferent," va dir, amb determinació.
"I'll try searching in a different place," he said with determination.
Amb paciència i esperit aventurer, Martí es va endinsar per senders menys transitats del jardí.
With patience and an adventurous spirit, Martí ventured into the less-traveled paths of the garden.
Les ombres dels arbres el cobriren mentre seguia el seu instint.
The shadows from the trees covered him as he followed his instinct.
Després de buscar i buscar, Martí va veure quelcom que el va fer aturar-se.
After searching and searching, Martí saw something that made him stop.
Davant d'ell, amagada entre fulles, hi havia la planta que tant desitjava!
In front of him, hidden among leaves, was the plant he so desired!
Una altra persona la va veure al mateix temps, però Martí va arribar un segon abans.
Another person saw it at the same time, but Martí reached it a second before.
Amb el cor bategant ràpid, va aconseguir prendre-la amb cura.
With his heart beating fast, he managed to take it carefully.
Amb la planta finalment a les mans, Martí va tornar, amb orgull als ulls, cap a on estaven Laia i Roc.
With the plant finally in hand, Martí returned, with pride in his eyes, to where Laia and Roc were.
"Ho he aconseguit!
"I did it!"
" va exclamar, mostrant-los el seu trofeu verd.
he exclaimed, showing them his green trophy.
Roc, amb un somriure d'admiració, va acceptar la derrota.
Roc, with an admiring smile, conceded defeat.
"Ho vas aconseguir, Martí.
"You did it, Martí.
Tenies raó tot el temps.
You were right all along."
"La confiança de Martí va créixer.
Martí's confidence grew.
Aquest moment no només li va portar una planta especial, sinó també la confiança per seguir creient en els seus talents.
This moment not only brought him a special plant but also the confidence to keep believing in his talents.
Laia estava encantada de veure la felicitat del seu amic.
Laia was delighted to see her friend's happiness.
Al final del dia, la passejada pel Jardí Botànic va significar més que un simple matí d'estiu.
By the end of the day, the walk in the Jardí Botànic meant more than just a simple summer morning.
Per a Martí, era el començament de confiar en si mateix i en els seus somnis botànics.

Amb la seva planta rara en mà, es va dirigir cap a casa, somiant amb les descobertes que encara havien de venir.
