Adrià va caminar pel Barri Gòtic de Barcelona, amb les mans enfonsades a les butxaques del seu abric.

Adrià walked through the Barri Gòtic of Barcelona, with his hands buried in the pockets of his coat.

El fred hivern li mossegava la pell, però la flaire de castanyes torrades i el so de les nadales el mantenien animat.

The winter cold bit at his skin, but the scent of roasted chestnuts and the sound of carols kept his spirits high.

Les llums de Nadal penjaven d'una banda a l'altra dels carrers estrets, ballant amb el vent.

Christmas lights hung from one side of the narrow streets to the other, dancing with the wind.

Estava nerviós.

He was nervous.

Era la seva primera vegada.

It was his first time.

El mercat de Nadal estava a punt d’obrir, i Adrià volia demostrar el seu talent amb ornaments fets a mà.

The Christmas market was about to open, and Adrià wanted to show off his talent with handmade ornaments.

Però sabia que no seria fàcil.

But he knew it wouldn't be easy.

La competència era dura, i molts venedors com Laia tenien anys d’experiència.

The competition was tough, and many vendors like Laia had years of experience.

Laia havia estat una amiga i mentora.

Laia had been a friend and mentor.

Ella venia figuretes de pessebre i sempre tenia les millors històries de les parades.

She sold nativity figurines and always had the best stories about the stalls.

"Adrià," li deia ella, "la clau és el cor.

"Adrià," she would say, "the key is heart.

Si poses el cor a la teva feina, la gent ho veurà."

If you put your heart into your work, people will see it."

Aquell matí, Adrià va arranjar la seva parada amb els ornaments llustrats.

That morning, Adrià arranged his stall with the polished ornaments.

Els seus favorits eren unes petites boles amb dissenys de la Sagrada Família.

His favorites were small balls with designs of the Sagrada Família.

Eren úniques, però es preguntava si la gent preferiria coses més tradicionals.

They were unique, but he wondered if people would prefer more traditional things.

Mentre treballava, el vent va augmentar.

As he worked, the wind picked up.

En un instant, un fort cop el va sorprendre.

In an instant, a strong gust surprised him.

Els ornaments van caure per terra, alguns es van trencar.

The ornaments fell to the ground, some breaking.

Adrià es va quedar gelat.

Adrià was frozen.

Tot el seu esforç allà al terra.

All his effort lay there on the ground.

Just en aquell moment, Laia va aparèixer.

Just then, Laia appeared.

"Vinga, Adrià, no et rendeixis.

"Come on, Adrià, don't give up.

Mira, podem arreglar-ho junts."

Look, we can fix it together."

Els dos es van apressar a reparar els desperfectes.

The two hurried to repair the damages.

Amb paciència, van recol·locar els ornaments i van fer que la parada lluís, fins i tot millor que abans.

With patience, they repositioned the ornaments and made the stall shine even better than before.

Quan el mercat va obrir, la gent es va acostar al stand d'Adrià.

When the market opened, people approached Adrià's stand.

"Són fantàstics!", va dir una dona, admirant-ne un.

"They're fantastic!" said a woman, admiring one.

La primera venda va arribar ràpidament, seguida per altres clientes interessats.

The first sale came quickly, followed by other interested customers.

Aquella nit, Adrià es va sentir per primer cop part de la comunitat, donant gràcies a Laia pel seu ajut.

That night, Adrià felt, for the first time, part of the community, giving thanks to Laia for her help.

Ara sabia que no estava sol.

Now he knew he wasn't alone.

Els seus ornaments no només eren un producte; eren una expressió de qui era.

His ornaments were not just a product; they were an expression of who he was.

Amb confiança renovada, va somriure sota les llums del carrer.

With renewed confidence, he smiled under the streetlights.

Sí, havia triat el seu camí correctament.

Yes, he had chosen his path correctly.

Nadal portaria molta més màgia. I ell hi formaria part.

Christmas would bring much more magic, and he would be a part of it.
