El sol d'hivern brillava sobre el Park Güell, donant vida als mosaics colorits i les estructures capritxoses del mestre Gaudí.

The winter sun shone over Park Güell, bringing life to the colorful mosaics and whimsical structures of the master Gaudí.

Tot i el fred, el parc estava ple de turistes que admiraven la màgia de l'arquitectura modernista.

Despite the cold, the park was full of tourists admiring the magic of modernist architecture.

Jordi, un professor de mirada cansada però entusiasme inquebrantable, conduïa un grup d'estudiants en una visita escolar.

Jordi, a teacher with a tired look but unyielding enthusiasm, was leading a group of students on a school visit.

Volia que els seus alumnes experimentessin la bellesa de la cultura catalana.

He wanted his students to experience the beauty of Catalan culture.

“Fixeu-vos, nens,” deia mentre assenyalava els bancs ondulats i les columnes inclinades, “aquí podeu sentir el geni de Gaudí.”

"Look closely, kids," he said, pointing to the undulating benches and inclined columns, "here you can feel the genius of Gaudí."

Anna, una estudiant optimista i somrient, observava fascinada, prenent notes amb dedicació.

Anna, an optimistic and smiling student, watched fascinated, taking notes with dedication.

Darrere seu, Martí, que normalment era tan silenciós com una ombra, caminava amb el cap cot, visible però absent.

Behind her, Martí, who was usually as silent as a shadow, walked with his head down, visible yet absent.

Jordi es preocupava per Martí.

Jordi was worried about Martí.

Durant aquesta època de Nadal, quan l'alegria hauria de ser omnipresent, Martí semblava distret, com si un núvol gris li tapés la vista.

During this Christmas season, when joy should be everywhere, Martí seemed distracted, as if a gray cloud was blocking his view.

Jordi va decidir aprofitar l'oportunitat per parlar amb ell.

Jordi decided to take the opportunity to talk to him.

“Martí, vine amb mi un moment, si us plau.” Jordi va fer una pausa a prop del dragó de trencadís que presidia l'entrada del parc.

"Martí, come with me for a moment, please." Jordi paused near the dragon mosaic that presided over the park entrance.

El so alegre de la font els envoltava.

The cheerful sound of the fountain surrounded them.

“Què passa, Martí? Ho he notat últimament.

"What's going on, Martí? I've noticed it lately.

No estàs bé?” Martí va encorbar les espatlles i va mirar a terra, uns segons van passar abans que parlés.

Are you not feeling well?" Martí slumped his shoulders and looked at the ground; a few seconds passed before he spoke.

“És que... a casa, les coses no van bé.

"It's just... things aren't going well at home.

Els meus pares discuteixen molt.

My parents argue a lot.

No sento que sigui Nadal.”

It doesn't feel like Christmas."

Jordi va sentir com una punxada d'empatia el travessava.

Jordi felt a pang of empathy pierce him.

Mai hauria imaginat que darrere el silenci de Martí hi hagués tant de dolor.

He had never imagined that behind Martí's silence lay so much pain.

“Ho sento, Martí.

"I'm sorry, Martí.

Sé que és difícil.

I know it's tough.

Però aquí, som una gran família també.

But here, we are a big family too.

No estàs sol.”

You're not alone."

Amb aquestes paraules, Jordi va notar un lleuger canvi en l'expressió de Martí, com un prisma que reflecteix la llum per primera vegada.

With these words, Jordi noticed a slight change in Martí's expression, like a prism reflecting light for the first time.

Martí va aixecar la vista del terra, trobant en Jordi un aliat inesperat.

Martí lifted his gaze from the ground, finding in Jordi an unexpected ally.

Quan van tornar amb la resta del grup, Anna es va acostar a Martí amb un somriure amistós.

When they returned to the rest of the group, Anna approached Martí with a friendly smile.

“M'he perdut alguna cosa important del Park Güell mentre feies turisme privat amb el Jordi?” Martí va riure tímidament per primera vegada aquell dia.

"Did I miss anything important about Park Güell while you were on a private tour with Jordi?" Martí laughed shyly for the first time that day.

A partir d'aquell moment, la dinàmica va canviar.

From that moment on, the dynamic changed.

Jordi havia aconseguit trencar les barreres.

Jordi had managed to break down the barriers.

Martí, sentint-se més acceptat i comprès, va començar a participar més en les activitats, compartint, fins i tot, algunes de les seves pròpies idees sobre Gaudí i l'arquitectura.

Martí, feeling more accepted and understood, began to participate more in the activities, even sharing some of his own ideas about Gaudí and architecture.

A l'acabar el dia, mentre el sol es ponia darrere dels colors vius del Park Güell, Jordi va saber que havia après una lliçó valuosa.

By the end of the day, as the sun set behind the vibrant colors of Park Güell, Jordi knew he had learned a valuable lesson.

A vegades, cal mirar més enllà del que és visible, escoltar més enllà del que es diu i donar suport a aquells que ho necessiten.

Sometimes, it's important to look beyond what is visible, listen beyond what is said, and support those who need it.

Va somriure, satisfet, veient com el grup es convertia, mica en mica, en una veritable comunitat.

He smiled, satisfied, seeing how the group was gradually becoming a true community.

Avui, com mai, Gaudí li havia parlat al cor, il·luminant més que la ciutat amb els seus colors.

Today, more than ever, Gaudí had spoken to his heart, illuminating more than the city with his colors.
