Els colors de la tardor embolcallaven el Parc Güell amb una calidesa que només Gaudí podria haver imaginat.
The colors of autumn enveloped Parc Güell with a warmth that only Gaudí could have imagined.
Les fulles seques cobertaven els camins i cruixien sota els peus dels visitants.
Dry leaves covered the paths and crunched under the visitors' feet.
Jordi, un estudiant d'art apassionat per Barcelona, caminava amb cura.
Jordi, an art student passionate about Barcelona, walked carefully.
Sentia les pedres sota els peus, cada pas un recordatori del seu turmell torçat, resultat d'una mala caiguda el dia anterior.
He felt the stones underfoot, each step a reminder of his twisted ankle, the result of a bad fall the previous day.
Núria, la seva millor amiga, l'acompanyava.
Núria, his best friend, accompanied him.
"Jordi, hauries de descansar", repetia una vegada més amb preocupació.
"Jordi, you should rest," she repeated once more with concern.
Però Jordi només tenia un objectiu: impressionar Pau, un turista carismàtic que havia conegut a un mercat d'art.
But Jordi had only one goal: to impress Pau, a charismatic tourist he had met at an art market.
"Avui és el dia perfecte, Núria.
"Today is the perfect day, Núria.
He d'ensenyar-li el meu art", va insistir Jordi, sentint el pes de la seva ambició.
I have to show him my art," insisted Jordi, feeling the weight of his ambition.
Ja havia instal·lat algunes de les seves obres en un raconet tranquil del parc, inspirades per les formes orgàniques de Gaudí.
He had already set up some of his works in a quiet corner of the park, inspired by Gaudí's organic forms.
Quan van arribar al costat de les obres d'art, Pau ja hi era.
When they arrived next to the artworks, Pau was already there.
Els ulls del turista brillaven amb admiració.
The tourist's eyes gleamed with admiration.
"Quin art més viu!
"What vibrant art!
Captures l'essència de Gaudí i la fas teva", va dir Pau amb entusiasme sincer.
You capture the essence of Gaudí and make it your own," said Pau with sincere enthusiasm.
Jordi, malgrat el dolor del turmell, es va sentir alçat, però el moment es va truncar quan el dolor va ser massa intens.
Jordi, despite the ankle pain, felt uplifted, but the moment was cut short when the pain became too intense.
Amb un gest involuntari, va caure a terra.
With an involuntary gesture, he fell to the ground.
Núria va córrer al seu costat, però Pau va ser qui el va ajudar a aixecar-se, guiant-lo cap a un banc proper.
Núria ran to his side, but it was Pau who helped him up, guiding him to a nearby bench.
"És increïble, Jordi", va dir Pau, sostenint el braç del seu nou amic.
"It's incredible, Jordi," said Pau, holding the arm of his new friend.
"Ets veritablement talentós i aquest pas no ha estat en va.
"You are truly talented, and this step has not been in vain."
"Assegut al banc, mentre el so suau dels turistes i la brisa de la tardor emplenaven l'aire, Jordi va sentir una nova claredat.
Sitting on the bench, while the gentle sound of tourists and the autumn breeze filled the air, Jordi felt a new clarity.
Pau va somriure, aportant-li el suport que tant necessitava.
Pau smiled, providing him with the support he so needed.
Jordi va comprendre que no estava sol, i que demanar ajuda no era una feblesa, sinó un camí per arribar més lluny.
Jordi realized he was not alone, and that asking for help was not a weakness, but a way to go further.
"M'has ensenyat molt més del que puc expressar, Pau", va dir Jordi, amb el cor lleuger i un somriure d'agraïment.
"You've taught me much more than I can express, Pau," said Jordi, with a light heart and a grateful smile.
La confiança seva havia crescut i, per primera vegada, va sentir que el seu somni potser era més a prop del que pensava.
His confidence had grown, and for the first time, he felt that his dream might be closer than he thought.
