"Laia, on és el gall dindi?

"Laia, where is the turkey?"

" Laia somreia amb confiança.

"Oh, segur que no està lluny.

"Oh, it can't be far.

Anem a buscar-lo!

Let's go find it!"

"El gall dindi havia escapat del seu tancat.

Però el gall dindi era més intel·ligent del que semblava.

But the turkey was smarter than it seemed.

Evitava les trampes i es burlava d’Arnau amb el seu brunzit de plomes.

It avoided the traps and taunted Arnau with the rustling of its feathers.

La Laia, amb el seu esperit lliure, va intentar una tàctica diferent.

Laia, with her free spirit, tried a different approach.

Va agafar un grapat de blat de moro i va començar a fer-li petards al gall dindi.

She grabbed a handful of corn and started making firecrackers near the turkey.

"Hola, bonic!

"Hey, beautiful!

Vine aquí!

Come here!"

" El gall dindi la mirava amb picardia i seguia caminant.

The turkey looked at her mischievously and kept walking.

Time was passing quickly, and Laia's family was expected to arrive at any moment.

L’Arnau estava cada cop més nerviós.

Arnau was getting more and more nervous.

"No ho aconseguirem mai," va dir ell, desesperat.

"We'll never make it," he said, desperate.

Just quan sembla impossible, el gall dindi, empès per la curiositat i la gana, va tornar al barn.

Just when it seemed impossible, the turkey, driven by curiosity and hunger, returned to the barn.

Laia i Arnau van aprofitar l'oportunitat.

Laia and Arnau seized the opportunity.

Lentament, amb delicadesa, van tancar la porta darrere seu.

Slowly, carefully, they closed the door behind it.

"Ho tenim!

"We've got it!"

" cridà la Laia amb alegria.

Laia shouted with joy.

L’Arnau va respirar alleugerit.

Arnau breathed a sigh of relief.

"No puc creure que ho hem fet," va dir amb una mica de riure.

"I can't believe we did it," he said with a bit of laughter.

La barbacoa va ser un èxit.

The barbecue was a success.

La família de Laia va gaudir del menjar i les històries d’Arnau i Laia perseguint el gall dindi van arrencar grans rialles.

Laia's family enjoyed the food, and the stories of Arnau and Laia chasing the turkey brought great laughter.

As the night went on and fireworks lit up the sky, Arnau and Laia smiled at each other.

"Potser no som tan dolents en això," va dir la Laia picant l’ullet.

"Maybe we're not so bad at this," Laia said, winking.

"Qui ho hauria dit?

"Who would have thought?"

" va respondre l’Arnau amb un somriure.

Arnau replied with a smile.

Junts, van aprendre que, de vegades, la millor manera de fer front als problemes és combinar planificació i desimboltura.

Together, they learned that sometimes the best way to tackle problems is a combination of planning and spontaneity.
