El sol brillava alt al cel de Barcelona.

The sun shone high in the sky over Barcelona.

Era el dia perfecte per anar al mercat de segona mà al Parc de la Ciutadella.

It was the perfect day to go to the flea market at the Parc de la Ciutadella.

La Montse, el seu germà gran Enric, i la seva amiga de tota la vida, Júlia, caminaven entre les parades plenes de colors i olors d'estiu.

Montse, her older brother Enric, and her lifelong friend Júlia walked among the stalls filled with summer colors and scents.

"Vull trobar un regal especial per a tu, Júlia," va dir la Montse, mirant els objectes exposats.

"I want to find a special gift for you, Júlia," said Montse, looking at the displayed items.

La Júlia somreia, però havia estat silenciosa i preocupada tot el matí.

Júlia smiled, but she had been silent and worried all morning.

"No et preocupis", va dir l'Enric. "No cal que et compliquis tant."

"Don't worry," said Enric. "You don't have to complicate things so much."

Però la Montse sabia que volia demostrar la seva independència i sorprendre la seva amiga.

But Montse knew she wanted to show her independence and surprise her friend.

Les parades eren plenes de gent que bussejaven entre les antiguitats, les joies fetes a mà i els tresors ocults.

The stalls were full of people diving into antiques, handmade jewelry, and hidden treasures.

L'Enric la seguia de prop, sempre vigilant.

Enric followed her closely, always vigilant.

"Montse, no et perdis de vista," va dir ell, preocupat.

"Montse, don't get out of sight," he said, concerned.

Però la Montse no volia estar controlada.

But Montse didn't want to be controlled.

Necessitava provar-se a ella mateixa.

She needed to prove herself.

Mentre caminaven, la Júlia estava distreta, pensant en la seva carrera.

As they walked, Júlia was distracted, thinking about her career.

Havia tornat a Barcelona recentment, però encara no estava segura del que volia fer.

She had recently returned to Barcelona but was still unsure of what she wanted to do.

Al final, la Montse va decidir aventurar-se sola.

In the end, Montse decided to venture out alone.

"Vés amb compte," va dir l'Enric, però la Montse ja estava endinsant-se entre la multitud.

"Be careful," said Enric, but Montse was already disappearing into the crowd.

Va passar per diverses parades, però res no li semblava prou especial.

She passed by several stalls, but nothing seemed special enough.

Finalment, va veure alguna cosa que la va cridar.

Finally, she saw something that caught her eye.

Era un collaret preciós, amb un penjoll que brillava sota la llum del sol.

It was a beautiful necklace, with a pendant that shimmered under the sunlight.

La Montse va saber a l'instant que era perfecte.

Montse knew instantly that it was perfect.

"Quant costa?" va preguntar a la venedora.

"How much does it cost?" she asked the vendor.

"És molt especial. Era d'una dona gran, que el va portar tota la vida," va respondre la venedora.

"It's very special. It belonged to an old woman who wore it all her life," the vendor replied.

La Montse el va comprar amb molta il·lusió i va córrer a trobar la Júlia i l'Enric.

Montse bought it with great excitement and ran to find Júlia and Enric.

Quan li va donar el collaret a la seva amiga, la Júlia es va quedar sense paraules.

When she gave the necklace to her friend, Júlia was speechless.

"Això... això era de la meva àvia!" va dir la Júlia, amb els ulls plens de llàgrimes de joia i nostàlgia.

"This... this was my grandmother's!" said Júlia, her eyes full of tears of joy and nostalgia.

"No puc creure-ho!"

"I can't believe it!"

L'Enric, veient la felicitat a la cara de la seva germana, va somriure.

Enric, seeing the happiness on his sister's face, smiled.

"Ho has fet molt bé, Montse."

"You did great, Montse."

En aquell moment, la Júlia va decidir obrir-se amb els seus amics.

At that moment, Júlia decided to open up to her friends.

"Sabeu, estic molt preocupada per la meva carrera.

"You know, I'm really worried about my career.

No sé què fer amb la meva vida."

I don't know what to do with my life."

"Estem aquí per ajudar-te," va dir la Montse, abraçant la seva amiga.

"We're here to help you," said Montse, hugging her friend.

Junts van passar la resta del dia riure i recordar.

Together, they spent the rest of the day laughing and reminiscing.

La Júlia se sentia més segura amb el suport dels seus amics, l'Enric aprenia a confiar en la Montse, i la Montse se sentia orgullosa de la seva independència.

Júlia felt more confident with her friends' support, Enric learned to trust Montse, and Montse felt proud of her independence.

La festa de Sant Joan havia encès no només el cel amb focs artificials, sinó també els cors amb una llum d'esperança renovada.

The Sant Joan festival had lit not only the sky with fireworks but also their hearts with a renewed light of hope.
